Mouse Heart Rate in a Human: Diagnostic Mystery of an Extreme Tachyarrhythmia
We report telemetry recording of an extreme non-fatal tachyarrhythmia noted in a hospitalized quadriplegic male with history of atrial fibrillation where the average ventricular conduction rate was found to be about 600 beats per minute and was associated with transient syncope. A medical literature...
