ResumoA 40-year-old man was seen in the emergency room with complaints of palpitations, dyspnea, and dysphagia of several weeks’ duration. He was admitted to the hospital because of frequent atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. On physical examination, the patient was in no acute distress. His pulse was 104 bpm and irregular. Neck veins were not distended. Lungs were clear to auscultation. Heart sounds were irregular. There were no murmurs. Electrocardiographic examination revealed a normal axis, nonspecific ST-segment changes, frequent premature atrial complexes, as well as frequent premature ventricular complexes. Chest roentgenogram is shown in Figure 1.
