Does acetyl-β-methylcholine chloride induce auricular fibrillation in hyperthyroid patients with auricular flutter?
The observation that acetyl-β-methylcholine chloride converts auricular flutter to fibrillation suggests that vagal overactivity combined with an exciting agent plays a role in the pathogenesis of auricular fibrillation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Case observation in hyperthyroid flutter; leaves open vagal contribution to fibrillation and requires prospective confirmation before any clinical inference.
