Abstract
An interesting case of spontaneous inversion of the left atrial appendage was caused by an acute decrease in ventricular volume and the shortening of diastole during supraventricular tachycardia, creating a negative pressure invaginating the left atrial appendage. The return of normal in sinus rhythm and left-sided diastolic pressures reversed the left atrial appendage to a normal position, sparing the patient unnecessary surgery.Entities:
