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.
