Overview

Atrial pacing should avoid the vulnerable period to prevent transient AF; case report leaves open prevalence in routine practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population

Intervention
Atrial pacing studies (stimulation within the atrial vulnerable period)
O
Outcome
Episodes of atrial fibrillation and flutter-fibrillation

Stimulation within the atrial vulnerable period can induce transient atrial fibrillation in normal subjects.
