The new onset atrial fibrillation was triggered by high levels of cyclosporine and possibly facilitated by the electrolyte imbalances post seizure and the presence of underlying mild left atrial enlargement. date: 2004-01 date_type: published publication: Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal volume: 4 number: 1 publisher: Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Group pagerange: 40-25 refereed: TRUE referencetext: 1.
