Intracardiac electrical discharge in terminating atrial fibrillation.

A new intracavitary technique for internal defibrillation in atrial fibrillation is presented. The discharge takes place between the distal electrodes of the catheter placed in the right atrium and a thoracic paddle. Four cases are discussed, and the indications for this type of defibrillation are considered. Internal defibrillation can be done when, for other purposes, an electrode catheter is already placed in the right atrium.

Preatrial activity recorded by intracavitary and transthoracic techniques.

Two methods to record preatrial activity, that is, sinus node potential are presented. One, during right atrial catheterization through an electrode catheter, and the other, using transthoracic recordings with a high amplification and derivation of the electric signals. The sinus node potential duration represents the sino-atrial conduction time (SACT), a useful parameter for the sinus node function evaluation.

The parasystole, a limitation of sinus node recovery time estimation.

Sinus node recovery time, used as an objective parameter of the sinus node function estimation, may be left out in the situation in which an atrial parasystolic focus is present. The overdrive suppression induced through rapid atrial pacing is without effect upon the protected parasystolic focus, and its firing will disturb the post-drive pause. This situation is noticed in two instances and demonstrated in one case.
