Transesophageal Overdrive Pacing in a Patient with Atrial Tachycardia and β -Thalassemia Major. A Challenging Simplicity
INTRODUCTION: Transesophageal overdrive pacing is an accepted method for the diagnosis and treatment of supraventricular tachycardias, although is not used frequently in clinical practice. CASE REPORT: A 47 years old woman is reported with a medical history of β -Thalassemia Major admitted to our ho...

description | INTRODUCTION: Transesophageal overdrive pacing is an accepted method for the diagnosis and treatment of supraventricular tachycardias, although is not used frequently in clinical practice. CASE REPORT: A 47 years old woman is reported with a medical history of β -Thalassemia Major admitted to our hospital with atrial tachycardia of recent onset and successfully converted using a transesophageal overdrive atrial pacing. CONCLUSION: Transesophageal overdrive atrial pacing is a low cost, simple and safe procedure that can be performed at the bedside, especially in patients, as those with β -Thalassemia Major, whose health status makes difficult the usage of medicines that could possibly aggravate their general health status. |
