Abstract

Two cases of exercise-induced atrial fibrillation were diagnosed in 68 years old female and 47 years old male.
They complained palpitation during exercise, and emotional upset for the last 5 years. There was no evidence of organic heart disease except mild hypertension in female patient. The atrial fibrillation was induced repeatedly by treadmill exercise test and intravenous infusion of isoproterenol. The beta blocker(atenolol 50mg po dialy) prevented the induction of atrial fibrillation during treadmill exercise.
We report two cases of exercise-induced atrial fibrillation which is very rare and might be related to catecholamine.
