What Are The Symptoms Of Atrial Fibrillation While Having Dextrocardia?
62 year old male.I have been diagnosed with Dextrocardia. Though Ihave been told that my heart is not completely turn around backwards. It is deformed, and I have a left descending artery,and just with in the last 4-5 years that I have my right and central descending arteries have grown together, since birth, to form 1 artery that sort of wraps around the heat. I have had ope heart surgery, with bypassing the left artery that was 100% occluded. That was in 2001. I have recently had heart flutters, pvc s, pav s and atrilfib. This has been all diagnosed, but, now the question. Because of the deformation of my heart, could pvc s, pac s and/or atrilfib cause me to cough during an episode of on of these symptoms?
