Symptomatic left atrial compression is a rare clinical condition presenting with heart failure, syncope or shock. A Med-line search with the term "left atrial compression" showed only 271 hits. Only 17 cases, of which 11 with hiatus hernia, of left atrial compression due to structures of the gastrointestinal tract were found. We describe a 86-year-old man suffering from repeating syncope due to left atrial compression by a hiatus hernia. This prompted us to review the few cases of atrial compression caused by gastro-intestinal structures.
症状性左心房受压是一种罕见的临床病症，表现为心力衰竭、晕厥或休克。使用“左心房受压”一词在医学在线数据库进行检索，仅显示271条结果。仅发现17例因胃肠道结构导致左心房受压的病例，其中11例伴有食管裂孔疝。我们描述了一名86岁男性因食管裂孔疝导致左心房受压而反复晕厥的病例。这促使我们回顾了少数由胃肠道结构引起的心房受压病例。
