Atrial Dissociation and Uniatrial Fibrillation

Abstract

Three cases of atrial dissociation are illustrated with electrocardiograms. The coexisting atrial rhythms observed in published cases permit us to offer a convenient classification. Two possible explanations of this rare phenomenon are discussed.

Atrial dissociation in a boxer with a carcinoma of the middle ear

“…Eine Alteration der Leitungsgeschwindigkeit könnte bei der Umkehrung von AD durch Klasse IB Medikamente auch einen wichtigen Effekt haben. 31 Ein Fallbericht beschreibt die Reversion einer AD nach der intravenösen Verabreichung von Lidokain und dessen möglichen Einsatz als Therapeutikum. 1 In unserem Fall kam es nach Verabreichung eines intravenösen Lidokain-Boluses nicht zu einer Konversion.…”

A Case Showing Atrial Dissociation and Other Various Kinds of Arrhythmias

“…According to this describption, the atrial dissociation seen in B, C, and D in Fig.2 is classified as (1), and that in A as (3) or (4). The simultaneous recording of intracardiac electrograms of both atria would have made this clear in this case, but this procedure was not carried out because of the short duration of the arrhythmia.…”

Benign nature of atrial dissociation in pediatric patients

“…Deitz [3] presented a 5 1 /2-month-old with a ventricular septal defect, congestive heart failure, and digitalis intoxication, which was thought to be the cause of the ectopic atrial fibrillation seen with the sinus rhythm . A normal 6-day-old [4] and a 9-year-old girl [5] with a normal Pediatric Cardiology Vol .…”
