“…Conversely, this phenomenon has been observed in patients with advanced atrial remodeling, such as rheumatic mitral heart valve disease, with resulting slow sinus or junctional rhythm. 6 The mechanism is probably related to a loss of atrial myocardium to maintain AF.…”

Pacemaker (PM) syndrome is an uncommon complication after PM or defibrillator implant in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation. We present a case where an unexpected and unrecognized improvement in a comorbid condition paradoxically led to worsened symptoms, ie, acute-onset persistent dyspnea, in a patient with a single-chamber implantable cardiac defibrillator. A careful review of clinical data led to diagnosis and successful treatment.

“…The certifying the impact of a specific therapy on the recovery of SR is generally difficult. There had been little reports about the spontaneous conversion of long-standing AF, which described it as very uncommon phenomenon [ 10 ]. Furthermore, atrial amyloid deposition in ATTR-CM might make the recovery of SR more difficult as compared with patients other than ATTR-CM [ 2 ].…”

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a life-threatening infiltrative disease in elderly patients. Atrial arrhythmias (AAr) are common in patients with ATTR-CM. However, AAr treatment in these patients is challenging. In this case, a patient diagnosed with wild-type ATTR-CM suffered atrial fibrillation (AF) for ~1 year, according to the data of his self-monitoring and regular electrocardiogram. This AF reverted to normal sinus rhythm a few months after the initiation of tafamidis without administering an antiarrhythmic drug. Tafamidis may be beneficial as alternative antiarrhythmic therapy in patients with ATTR-CM.
