The paper describes five cases of atrial fibrillation detected after racing. In four of them, the arrhythmia disappeared spontaneously within 24 h and they were regarded as paroxysmal in type. In the fifth case, which won its race, the arrhythmia persisted for at least 45 h after racing. It was therefore regarded as an example of persistent atrial fibrillation. It was then treated with quinidine sulphate which restored sinus rhythm. It would seem that paroxysmal atrial fibrillation may be a cause of sudden decrease in racing performance.
该论文描述了五例在比赛后检测到心房颤动的病例。其中四例，心律失常在24小时内自发消失，被视为阵发性类型。在第五例赢得比赛的病例中，心律失常在比赛后持续了至少45小时。因此，它被视为持续性心房颤动的一个例子。然后用硫酸奎尼丁进行治疗，恢复了窦性心律。阵发性心房颤动似乎可能是比赛成绩突然下降的一个原因。
