Recurrent atrial fibrillation and stroke in a young adult with congenital heart defects: A case report

This case underscores the importance of long-term follow-up in patients with congenital heart disease, even after surgical correction. The coexistence of ASD and Ebstein anomaly can predispose to early-onset AF and stroke. Early detection and individualized management strategies, including rhythm control and anticoagulation, are critical in reducing morbidity and preventing recurrence.

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of long-term follow-up in patients with congenital heart disease, even after surgical correction. The coexistence of ASD and Ebstein anomaly can predispose to early-onset AF and stroke. Early detection and individualized management strategies, including rhythm control and anticoagulation, are critical in reducing morbidity and preventing recurrence.
