Left atrial stunning after cardioversion is common and linked to increased risks. This case highlights differential atrial stunning, suggesting varying right and left atrial function post-procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Echocardiography
  • Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Left atrial stunning is a recognized complication following cardioversion.
  • It is associated with increased risks of thromboemboli and atrial fibrillation recurrence.

Observation:

  • A case of differential atrial stunning after electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation is presented.
  • Diagnosis utilized pulsed wave Doppler of mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary vein inflow, and mitral/tricuspid annuli.

Findings:

  • Differential mechanical atrial stunning may be a common post-cardioversion phenomenon.
  • This suggests potential differences in right and left atrial transport function.

Implications:

  • The prevalence of differential atrial stunning requires further investigation in large-scale studies.
