ingestion and cor triatriatum
Baylor UMC Proceedings, 10/27/09
Falcone AM et al. – This is the only reported case of alcohol–induced atrial fibrillation in a patient with the finding of cor triatriatum. It is unknown whether there is an association between the two disorders. Given that both alcohol consumption and cor triatriatum are associated with atrial fibrillation, it is unclear if the presence of the congenital abnormality put the patient at a higher risk of arrhythmias. He has been counseled to reduce his alcohol intake. At 6–month follow up, the patient has had no further instances of palpitations, and he will continue to be monitored for further arrhythmias or symptoms of obstruction.
