Vagally Mediated Atrial Fibrillation in a Young Man

Erika N. Ringdahl, MD

Arch Fam Med. 2000;9:389-390.

Atrial fibrillation may be provoked by either vagal or sympathetic stimulation. Sympathetic effects are common in middle-aged and elderly patients with underlying heart disease. However, in the young, nondiseased heart, vagal influences are more likely to predominate. Recognition of vagally mediated atrial fibrillation in young adults as a unique clinical entity has diagnostic and therapeutic implications.


From the Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia.
