Premature atrial contraction induced cardiomyopathy: A case report
This case report describes the successful management of a 45-year-old female patient with incessant premature atrial complexes (PACs) leading to left ventricular dysfunction. Despite initial treatment with beta-blockers, the patient's PACs persisted, prompting catheter ablation. Mapping in the...

| description | This case report describes the successful management of a 45-year-old female patient with incessant premature atrial complexes (PACs) leading to left ventricular dysfunction. Despite initial treatment with beta-blockers, the patient's PACs persisted, prompting catheter ablation. Mapping in the left atrium identified the site of earliest atrial activation near the right superior pulmonary vein, and radiofrequency energy successfully terminated the PACs. Follow-up assessments showed the patient remained asymptomatic, with normalized left ventricular function. This case highlights the efficacy of catheter ablation in resolving PAC-induced cardiomyopathy and emphasizes the need for further research in this area. |
