Abstrakt: The article investigates the role of exercise-induced atrial extrasystoles in predicting atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy in Great Britain. This study recommends that post-exercise extrasystoles should be considered a marker for future AF rather than the mechanism. However, this article was not able to measure reliably coupling intervals or the site of origin of the atrial extrasystoles.
