==Overview==
==Overview==
In developed countries the two most common causes of [[atrial fibrillation]] are [[hypertensive heart disease]] and [[coronary heart disease]]. In developing countries [[rheumatic heart disease]] is associated with a much higher incidence of [[atrial fibrillation]].
The most common cause of atrial fibrillation is [[atrium|atrial]] dilation associated with [[hypertension]]. [[Atrial fibrillation]] can be caused by several organic [[heart|cardiac]] [[diseases]], but it has also been reported to have a [[familial]] [[etiology]] in some [[patients]]. Approximately 1/3 of [[patients]] have [[familial atrial fibrillation]] which is due to an underlying [[genetic disorder]].  In developed countries, [[hypertensive heart disease]] and [[coronary heart disease]] are the two most common causes of [[atrial fibrillation]]. However, [[rheumatic heart disease]] is associated with a higher incidence of [[atrial fibrillation]] in developing countries. Life threatening conditions such as [[acute coronary syndromes]], [[electrolyte imbalance]], [[dehydration]], [[hypoxia]], [[pulmonary embolism]], [[myocarditis]] and [[pericarditis]] should be identified and promptly treated. Other general causes such as the advancing [[Ageing|age]] of the population, the [[Hemodynamics|hemodynamic stress]] of [[heart failure]] and [[valvular heart disease]], [[myocardial ischemia]], a variety of [[inflammation|inflammatory disorders]], [[lung|pulmonary]] [[diseases]], [[alcohol]], [[drug abuse]], and [[endocrine]] disorders.

Life-threatening conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Overview

The most common cause of atrial fibrillation is atrial dilation associated with hypertension. Atrial fibrillation can be caused by several organic cardiac diseases, but it has also been reported to have a familial etiology in some patients. Approximately 1/3 of patients have familial atrial fibrillation which is due to an underlying genetic disorder. In developed countries, hypertensive heart disease and coronary heart disease are the two most common causes of atrial fibrillation. However, rheumatic heart disease is associated with a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation in developing countries. Life threatening conditions such as acute coronary syndromes, electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, hypoxia, pulmonary embolism, myocarditis and pericarditis should be identified and promptly treated. Other general causes such as the advancing age of the population, the hemodynamic stress of heart failure and valvular heart disease, myocardial ischemia, a variety of inflammatory disorders, pulmonary diseases, alcohol, drug abuse, and endocrine disorders.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. The following are some of the well known life threatening causes of atrial fibrillation:[1][2][3]
