Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained rhythm disorder observed in clinical practice and predominantly associated with cardiovascular disorders such as coronary heart disease and hypertension. However, several classes of drugs may induce AF in patients without apparent heart disease or may precipitate the onset of AF in patients with preexisting heart disease. We reviewed the lit...

However, drug-induced AF (DIAF) receives little attention. Thus, this review is an attempt to attract the attention on this adverse effect.

متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation
Antiarrhythmic medications have been available for nearly 100 years and remain a mainstay in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF).

The use of these drugs has been limited by both pro...
متن کاملThoracoscopic surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation with electrophysiologic end points.
After the seminal observation that reported initiation of AF by pulmonary vein arrhythmogenicity3 and subsequent contributions on pulmonary vein (PV) and non–PV-dependent mechanisms in the genesis of AF, percutaneous catheter ablation has rapidly evolved to eliminate both paroxysmal and persistent AF over the last decade. Numerous reports from registries and randomized clinical trials demonstra...
