Abstract

An implanted cardiac resynchronization and defibrillator device was helpful in clarifying the diagnosis of atrial tachyarrhythmia and cardioverting the arrhythmia, and thus restoring atrio-biventricular synchrony, followed by quick response to pharmacotherapy and stabilization of a patient with acute exacerbation of heart failure.
