Atrial enlargement as a consequence of atrial fibrillation.

To test the hypothesis that atrial enlargement can develop as a consequence of atrial fibrillation, left and right atrial dimensions were measured echocardiographically at two different time points in patients with atrial fibrillation. Patients were selected who initially had normal atrial sizes and who had no evidence of significant structural or functional cardiac abnormalities other than atr...

Left Atrial Enlargement as a Predictor of Silent Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and it may be symptomatic (manifest), or asymptomatic (silent). Silent AF is much more common than manifest AF. Both paroxysmal (PAF) and persistent AF confer a risk of embolic stroke. Increased left atrial (LA) size is associated with an increased prevalence of non-valvular AF and could be a predictor of stroke. Relationship betwee...

Intravenous Methylprednisolone, a Possible Cause of the Atrial Fibrillation

We are presenting a case illustrating atrial fibrillation (AF) following the use of methylprednisolone in a patient with pelvic and femur fracture. A 48- year- old man with no significant past medical history, was admitted to the emergency department after injury in a car accident. He suffered a multiple bone fracture with chief complaints of pain and shortness of breath. He was transfer...
