Atrial standstill: a rare case.
We introduce a 32-year-old man who was evaluated for a dizziness and headache of unknown origin for at least two months and was referred to our center after ECG findings. He was finally diagnosed as a case of idiopathic, familial, diffuse, persistent atrial standstill, which is a rare arrhythmogenic condition characterized by the absence of electrical and mechanical activity in the atria. He successfully received a single-chamber permanent pacemaker.
