Recurrent supraventricular extrasystolia due to retrocardiac stomach

Hiatal hernia as a rare cause of cardiac complications – case based review of the literature

“…Hiatal hernia and changes in electrocardiogram. Changes in the electrocardiogram pattern and rhythm have been observed in patients with hiatal hernias [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. However, the linkage between these conditions has not been fully elucidated.…”

“…In most cases, electrocardiographic alternation disappeared after initial stomach decompression or surgical correction of the hiatal hernia [18,20,21,[30][31][32][33][34][35], or after successful conservative management with dietary control and proton pump inhibitor [29]. Resolution of abnormal findings in ECG after management of hiatal hernia may imply a causal relationship between the hiatal hernia and changes in the electrocardiogram pattern and rhythm.…”

A rare case of transient inferior ST segment elevation

“…Tursi and colleagues also hypothesized that their finding of a supraventricular arrhythmia may have been caused by pericardial irritation. [6]…”

“…[4567891011121314151617181920] Hiatal hernias should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with angina-like chest pain. Given the symptoms of GERD, the cardiopulmonary findings, and the high prevalence.…”
