Abstract:
The common arrhythmia atrial fibrillation (AF) is incompletely understood. The mechanism of initiation and the perpetuation of AF remain speculative. This article summarizes current knowledge of the complex relationship between arrhythmias triggering AF and their long-term effects on atrial tissue, leading to perpetuation of tachycardia. It focuses on the role of the electrocardiogram (ECG) from AF diagnosis to identification of sinus P wave abnormalities predicting future occurrences. The role of ambulatory ECG recordings in managing AF and the use of frequency analysis determining degree of organization and identification of AF triggers are discussed.
