The atrial fibrillation was diagnosed from interpretation of a 12-lead electrocardiography showing irregularly ventricular rhythm with no discrete P wave, but law amplitude, continuously varying fibrillatory waves. Results: From 49,134 patients presented to emergency department, 195 (0.39%) patients had atrial fibrillation.
