- Abstract
The article presents a case study on a persistent Atrial fibrillation (AF) resistant to pharmacological and direct-current cardioversion and converted to sinus rhythm with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in a 79-year-old woman patient with paraesophageal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux (GER). The authors suggest that the PPI therapy may reduce not only GER-associated but also AF-associated symptoms.
