[Efficacy of cibenzoline in a case of atrial fibrillation due to cardiac thyrotoxicosis].
The authors report a case of reduction of thyrotoxicosis-related atrial fibrillation by cibenzoline. The initial clinical features of heart failure rapidly resolved and the echocardiographic left ventricular shortening fraction returned to normal. Cibenzoline could be used as antiarrhythmic treatment in atrial fibrillation related to thyrotoxicosis.
