Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation on Flecainide Therapy [PDF]
European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020 Flecainide pill-in-the-pocket therapy is a pharmacologic treatment option for patients with infrequent episodes of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. We report a case of wide complex tachycardia due to atrial flutter with 1:1 atrioventricular conduction in a patient who took pill-in-the-pocket flecainide without concomitant atrioventricular nodalblockade.

Initiating mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Europace, 2003 The understanding of the onset mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) may help to develop preventive therapy. Specific heart rate (HR) patterns and autonomic changes immediately before the onset of paroxysmal AF are not fully investigated. We undertook the present study to assess HR and heart rate variability (HRV) changes before the onset ...
