Atrial fibrillation affects about 5% of people over seventy. This text reviews clinical aspects of atrial fibrillation and presents information about the generation of the arrhythmia, its haemodynamic consequences and the control of the ventricular response by the autonomic nervous system.

Atrial fibrillation affects about 5% of people over seventy. This text reviews clinical aspects of atrial fibrillation and presents information about the generation of the arrhythmia, its haemodynamic consequences and the control of the ventricular response by the autonomic nervous system. The implications of considering the atrioventricular node as a biological oscillator are discussed in depth, and a simple computer program of a model of the conducting system of the heart is given as an appendix.

Contents: The Cardiac Conducting System and Its Autonomic Control.- The Pathophysiology of Atrial Fibrillation.- Models of the Atrioventricular Node.- The Measurement of Cardiac Output in Sinus Rhythm and Atrial Fibrillation.- The Haemodynamics of Atrial Fibrillation: The Development of a Model of Left Ventricular Function.- The Haemodynamics of Atrial Fibrillation: The Effect of Ventricular Rate on Cardiac Output.- The Use of the Haemodynamic Model of Atrial Fibrillation for Evaluating Drug Action.- The Automatic Control of Ventricular Rate in Atrial Fibrillation.- Clinical Aspects of Atrial Fibrillation.- The Management of Atrial Fibrillation.
