Deglutition-Induced Atrial Tachycardia Localised with Contact Force-Guided Activation Mapping. Deglutition-induced atrial tachycardia is a rare arrhythmia with a poor response to medical therapy. Electrophysiological study is challenging due to the dependence of induction on swallowing. We present a novel approach to management of deglutition-induced atrial tachycardia arising from right superior pulmonary vein. Use of minimal conscious sedation and repeated swallow challenge inductions, together with contact force-guided mapping were key determinants of success. We review published cases, discussing potential mechanisms including oesophageal distension and neural reflexes.
