Left atrial standstill in a patient with mitral stenosis and sinus rhythm: a risk of thrombus hidden by left and right atrial electrical dissociation

Following successful Inoue balloon dilatation an F6 pacing electrode, attached to the chest lead of the catheter table ECG system, was passed via a Mullins Sheath to the left atrium and recordings were made from several sites on the left atrial cavity wall: no electrical activity corresponding to th...

Zusammenfassung:	Following successful Inoue balloon dilatation an F6 pacing electrode, attached to the chest lead of the catheter table ECG system, was passed via a Mullins Sheath to the left atrium and recordings were made from several sites on the left atrial cavity wall: no electrical activity corresponding to the p wave of the surface ECG was seen (lower middle panel-50 mm/s).
