abstract: "We describe the unusual occurrence of atrial fibrillation immediately after a seizure in a young patient with cyclosporine toxicity.  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.\n"
