Pseudo Sinus Rhythm Originating from a Pulmonary Vein. We report the case o
f a patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in whom the background card
iac rhythm falsely mimicked sinus rhythm but actually originated from the l
eft superior pulmonary vein. P waves during the ectopic rhythm were flat in
lead I, negative in lead aVL, and without a typical "dome-and-dart" featur
e in precordial leads. Radiofrequency applications inside the left superior
pulmonary vein eliminated both atrial fibrillation and the ectopic pacemak
er.
