Abstract
Abstract Atrial standstill is a rare arrhythmogenic condition characterized by the absence of electrical and mechanical activity in the atria. The therapeutic options for these patients described in the current literature, in which no reversible cause is detected, are permanent cardiac pacing, anticoagulant, and heart failure treatment when the latter exists. We present a case of a young male with no personal or family history of cardiovascular disease, diagnosed with atrial standstill after multiple syncopal episodes, in whom, because of the high expected ventricular pacing percentage, we opted for conduction system pacing with left bundle branch area pacing.
期刊介绍:
The first issue of the journal was published in 1947, having the title Revue Roumaine de Cardiologie – journal edited in French, having Basil Teodorescu as director and Emil Viciu and Constantin Davis as editors and Serban Papadopol as secretary. Taking into consideration the hardship back then, the journal (and the Romanian Society of Cardiology) self dissolved in 1947. 3 issues were published.
