Abstract:
Atrial and junctional arrhythmias may occur after heart transplantation. Often these arrhythmias require intravenous beta-agonists or atrial pacing to improve posttransplant hemodynamic values. We describe a heart transplant patient with a hemodynamically significant junctional rhythm who responded to oral terbutaline with conversion to sinus rhythm.
