Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Probably the first time atrial fibrillation was described was between 1696 and 2598 BC by a Chinese physician named Huang Ti who delineated it as a disease with irregular pulses and tremulous beats.[1]
- William Harvey was the first one who found out atrium as the origin of the abnormal pulse in 1628.[2]
- Jean-Baptiste de Senac (1693–1770) reported mitral valve diseases and the subsequent reflux as the etiology of atrial fibrillation. He described how reflux leads to a dilated atrium which causes an irregular and abnormal atrium activity. Moreover he seems to be the first one who noticed that origin of atrial fibrillation is different from normal heart pulses.[3]
