Isorhythmic atrioventricular dissociation in an adult with levo-transposition of the great arteries

BMJ Case Rep. 2021 Aug 10;14(8):e242437. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2021-242437.

Abstract

A 36-year-old woman with levo-transposition of the great arteries presented for a programmed visit. She was asymptomatic and the clinical examination showed no signs of decompensated heart failure. Standard 12-lead ECG showed isorhythmic atrioventricular dissociation. A 24-hour ambulatory recording demonstrated sinus rhythm with intermittent periods of isorhythmic dissociation. This case highlights the association between two rare conditions.

Keywords: arrhythmias; cardiovascular medicine.
