Mapping and ablation of multiple atrial arrhythmias in a patient with persistent atrial standstill after remote viral myocarditis.
This is a case of multiple atrial arrhythmias (atrioventricular node reentry and two different focal atrial tachycardias) originating from the remaining atrial myocardium after global scarring of both atria following a remote viral myocarditis. All the induced arrhythmias were successfully treated with catheter ablation.
