ABSTRACT: Atrial
fibrillation is an increasingly common significant arrhythmia with potentially
serious outcomes. Myocardial
infarction is a common consequence of atherosclerosis and coronary
artery disease. When the two conditions occur together, the consequences can be
compounded. This article briefly reviews some of the potentials for the
relationship.
