Can smoking cause Atrial Fibrillation?
Smoking and atrial fibrillation. The increased risk of afib as an active smoker, corresponds to the difference in risk between 60 and 63-year olds.

Atrial extrasystoles
If the heart beat starts in the heart chambers, we call it ventricular extrasystoles. If they start in the atria, they are called “atrial extrasystoles”.
What Is Focal Atrial Tachycardia?
Focal atrial tachycardia (ectopic atrial tachycardia) is a form of rapid heart rhythm disorder that comes from a specific place in the atria.
