Lone atrial fibrillation
by Victric, Jul 21, 2007 06:27AM
Hi,
I'm a fit and healthy 25 year old male, that has recently been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The attacks so far have been few, and occurs during very heavy exertion and stress. Echo and stress test have been done, and they are considered normal, according to my doctor. Therefore my diagosis is Lone Atrial Fibrillation.
1. Do you know how common attacks of AF is in my age? How often do you doctors see that?
2. During my attacks (pulse rate 190) the doctors say I have intermittent aberration. Is that a sign that my conduction system is damaged, or could aberration happen in otherwise healty hearts?
3. I have a very slightly enlarged left atrium. Could this be due to intermittent Mitral Valve Prolapse not seen on my echo?
4. Could a past subclinical myocarditis have led to my AF? Are there any tests to see if that is the case?
Thank you for your time!
