BACKGROUND: Paroxysmal @entity4710 is a common @entity943 that occurs at all ages. Its management is determined by presenting symptoms and previous history of the @entity1 . @entity1 present with a continuum of symptoms ranging from palpitations to @entity1163 . The incidence of @entity4710 increases with age. OBJECTIVES: To discuss the etiology, precipitating factors, and acute management of @entity4710 ; and to discuss nodal reentry circuits and representative electrocardiographic findings. CASE REPORT: We present the case of an 84-year-old @entity1 with @entity788 , choledolcholithiasis, and @entity2679 complicated by paroxysmal @entity4710 . We review this @entity943 , emphasizing its significance in elderly @entity1 . CONCLUSION: @entity4710 is a common @entity943 that can result in @entity1163 or @entity583 . We present a case of an elderly @entity1 with new-onset @entity2917 , possibly precipitated by overdrive of his autonomic nervous system due to @entity158 and @entity281 . As the percentage of the elderly in our population is growing rapidly and the incidence of AV nodal reentry @entity591 increases with age, emergency physicians should be familiar with this @entity943 -its etiology, precipitating factors, presentations, and treatment. It will present more frequently in the future.
