          Abstract

          We introduce a 32-year-old man who was evaluated for a dizziness and headache of unknown origin for at least two months and was referred to our center after ECG findings. He was finally diagnosed as a case of idiopathic, familial, diffuse, persistent atrial standstill, which is a rare arrhythmogenic condition characterized by the absence of electrical and mechanical activity in the atria. He successfully received a single-chamber permanent pacemaker.

          Persistent right atrial standstill.

          Robert Harley (1976)
          An asymptomatic patient with cardiomegaly caused by isolated right atrial standstill is reported. The right atrium showed no evidence of contraction on pressure records or angiographically, while the left atrium functioned normally.

            Electroanatomical mapping in partial atrial standstill for visualization of atrial viability and a suitable pacing site.

            Shin Takayama, Eiichiro Ikeno, Takanori Arimoto … (2008)
            Partial atrial standstill is characterized by the failure of atrial activity either spontaneously or in response to electrical stimulation in restricted site of atria. In this case with bradycardia, atrial standstill was restricted to the lateral and posterior right atrium. The markedly prolonged intraatrial conduction delay was observed in the superior to septal region of the right atrium. The electroanatomical mapping was successfully utilized to estimate atrial activity and to find a suitable site for atrial lead placement. The electroanatomical mapping may become an innovated strategy to estimate atrial electrical status in partial atrial standstill.
