A case is reported of a 35 year old man with atrial
parasystolic trigeminy. The patient presented with a 10 year history of sustained supraventricular extrasystole causing symptoms leading to
several hospitalisations and continuous unemployment. He had been
treated ineffectively with several drug combinations.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of a right atrial focus completely
suppressed the ectopic activity. This is the first report to
demonstrate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency catheter ablation
in atrial ectopic trigeminy.
