title: Successful Ablation with a Multipolar Mapping Catheter for Swallowing-induced Atrial Tachycardia.
abstract: We herein report a case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with a history of recurrent palpitations that occurred during swallowing solid food. On a Holter electrocardiogram, paroxysmal atrial tachycardias (PATs) were detected while eating. We mapped the right atrium (RA) with a multipolar mapping catheter while she swallowed a rice ball and it was revealed that the earliest endocardial breakthrough was on the anterior septal side near the superior vena cava junction of the RA. We successfully eliminated PAT at both the site in the RA and the adjacent right superior pulmonary vein ostium. After ablation, no PAT was documented while eating.
