Abstract

A 69-year-old man presented bradycardia with a constant blocked atrial bigeminy and heart failure. Successful catheter ablation of blocked atrial bigeminy with bradycardia resulted in myocardial reverse remodeling and restoration of the normal sinus rhythm from the ectopic atrial rhythm.

Keywords: ablation; blocked atrial bigeminy; bradycardia; ectopic atrial rhythm; myocardial reverse remodeling; premature atrial contraction.
