Glycemic control is associated with atrial structural remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019 Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been demonstrated to be a strong risk factor for development and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, how DM and glycemic control affect the pathogenesis of AF has not been sufficiently investigated ...

A Case of Atrial Fibrillation from Cyclosporine Toxicity [PDF]
, 2004 We describe the unusual occurrence of atrial fibrillation immediately after a seizure in a young patient with cyclosporine toxicity. The new onset atrial fibrillation was triggered by high levels of cyclosporine and possibly facilitated by the ...
