Abstract
We present the case of an elderly woman with congenital dextrocardia who experienced severe palpitations. An electrocardiogram revealed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and her medical history unveiled cerebral infarction and renal failure. In the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation is a key requirement. Although non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants are recommended by guidelines, their efficacy is compromised in patients undergoing dialysis due to renal metabolism. In addition, warfarin may cause fluctuations in international normalized ratio, which is not conducive to controlling symptoms of cerebral infarction. To improve the patient's quality of life, we focused on addressing the unique challenges posed by dextrocardia in a one-stop procedure.
我们接诊了一名患有先天性右心室突出症的老年妇女，她曾出现严重的心悸症状。心电图显示她患有阵发性心房颤动，病史显示她患有脑梗塞和肾衰竭。治疗阵发性心房颤动，抗凝是关键要求。虽然指南推荐使用非维生素 K 拮抗剂口服抗凝药，但由于肾脏代谢的原因，这些药物在透析患者中的疗效会受到影响。此外，华法林可能导致国际正常化比率波动，不利于控制脑梗塞症状。为了提高患者的生活质量，我们的重点是通过一站式手术解决右心室突出带来的独特挑战。
期刊介绍：
Frontiers? Which frontiers? Where exactly are the frontiers of cardiovascular medicine? And who should be defining these frontiers?
At Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine we believe it is worth being curious to foresee and explore beyond the current frontiers. In other words, we would like, through the articles published by our community journal Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, to anticipate the future of cardiovascular medicine, and thus better prevent cardiovascular disorders and improve therapeutic options and outcomes of our patients.
