A Clinical Case of Atrial Fibrillation with Coronary Vessel Ectasia

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common versions of supraventricular tachyarrhythmia that a doctor has to deal with in everyday practice [1,12].

The prevalence of AF varies with age, gender, and in the presence of structural heart disease
