[Tachyarrhythmia caused by paroxysmal atrial fibrillation following heat stress].
The Authors describe a case of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, in young patients with apparently healthy hearts due to heat stress and expound the pathogenetic mechanisms. They point out the importance of a complete cardiologic examination: sometimes paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is an initial symptom of silent cardiovascular disease.
