They received potassium chloride by intravenous infusion, followed by oral therapy with reversion to sinus rhythm. There were no clinical, electrocardiographic, radiological, or echocardiographic signs of cardiac or pericardial disease, and the other usual cases of AF were also excluded. The contribution of thiazide-induced hypokalaemia to the occurrence of AF in our patients is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.62.734.1125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T20:58:16Z","timestamp":1230584296000},"page":"1125-1127","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Transient atrial fibrillation in hypertensive patients with thiazide induced hypokalaemia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"M K","family":"Emara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Mubarak Hospital , Kuwait"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A M","family":"Saadet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Mubarak Hospital , Kuwait"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1986,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"p.","article-title":"In Clinical Disorders ofthe Heart Beat","author":"BELLET, S.","year":"1971","unstructured":"BELLET, S.
