SANCHEZ GARCIA, Marta; GABRIELA TOMOIU, Ileana; HOYO GOMEZ, Federico e DELGADO CASADO, José Andrés. Something old, something new and... something slow?. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.3, pp.220-222. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2014000300006.
Atrial fibrillation (AT) is the most frequent type of arrhythmia in clinical practice. It causes a high rate of morbidity and mortality. A patient with known AF who follows adequate therapy and starts feeling dizzy, should alert his/her GP. An electrocardiogram is essential for correct diagnosis: the presence of bradycardia in a patient with AF. This clinical situation constitutes a non-delayable reason to refer the patient to the hospital in order to carry out an etiologic study and adequate therapy because of the seriousness of this clinical picture.
