This review explores the potential association between gastroesophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernias, and atrial fibrillation.
Association of GERD/hiatal hernia with AF remains unproven; leaves open whether reflux treatment modifies arrhythmia risk.
Atrial fibrillation (AF), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias are commonly seen in clinical practice. GERD and hiatal hernias have been proposed to be a possible cause of AF. In this paper, we will briefly review GERD, AF and hiatal hernias, consider the available literature covering the association between these diseases and provide further insight into the topic in general.

Armaganijan et al. (2012) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and hiatal hernias. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias was evaluated. This review explores the available literature regarding the potential association between gastroesophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernias, and atrial fibrillation.
