Mathias Holm SørgaardKlaus Fuglsang KofoedJawdat AbdullaPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2023)
Numerous case reports on ARCAPA have previously been published, but no previous reports have found rapid atrial fibrillation to be the primary symptom of presentation. Current evidence level concerning the treatment is low; nevertheless, surgical intervention should always be considered to prevent sudden cardiac death. The patient in this case was offered surgical intervention but declined.
