Twelve patients had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (group A), and six patients had no such dysrhythmia (group B). Fragmented atrial activity was recorded in 10 of the 12 patients (83%) in group A, but only 1 of the 6 patients (17%) in group B. The sensitivity, the specificity and the predictive value of the fragmented atrial activity to predict the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were 83%, 71% and 83% respectively. In conclusion, fragmented atrial activity may be a good index to predict spontaneous paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in sick sinus syndrome.}, pages = {141--146}, title = { Atrial Fibrillation and Fragmented Atrial Activity in Sick Sinus Syndrome}, volume = {3}, year = {1988} }
