Abstract

The presence of lone atrial fibrillation presupposes the absence of structural heart disease, hypertension, or other known predisposing factors. However, several recent clinical and experimental data provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of lone atrial fibrillation. In addition, modern diagnostic techniques often reveal some previously unappreciated abnormalities. Therefore, the increasing recognition of potential causes and links sets the base for a more complete elucidation of its etiology in the near future. This concise review article discusses the contemporary advances in the understanding of this form of atrial fibrillation.

摘要

孤立性心房颤动的存在预先假定不存在结构性心脏病、高血压或其他已知的诱发因素。然而，最近的一些临床和实验数据为孤立性心房颤动的发病机制提供了新的见解。此外，现代诊断技术常常揭示出一些以前未被认识到的异常情况。因此，对潜在病因和联系的日益认识为在不久的将来更全面地阐明其病因奠定了基础。这篇简明的综述文章讨论了对这种形式心房颤动认识的当代进展。
