These are references for afib - specifically, for possible natural therapies. They get better towards the end, but they all have something to contribute. The first one is the hardest to understand for me.

Common causes of atrial fibrillation include coronary artery disease (especially after acute myocardial infarction),

According to Science Daily, atrial fibrillation, or irregular heart rhythm, may be caused by a common stomach bug called Helicobacter pylori

The bug in question, Helicobacter pylori, causes ulcers, and has also been implicated in the development of stomach cancer and ischaemic heart disease.

excessive thyroid hormone levels

Catheter ablation - the approach has cured more than 1,000 U-M patients who have the most common form of irregular heart rhythm, called atrial fibrillation or AF, and allowed them to return to an active life.

Eating tuna appears to reduce risk of atrial fibrillation

Low potassium and magnesium levels can trigger atrial fibrillation.

Consumption of n-3 fatty acids from fish was not found to be associated with a reduction in risk of atrial fibrillation or flutter.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

AF is usually present with other cardiac problems and its very presence is probably the tip of an iceberg, so to speak. It is reasonable to think that other heart problems are on the way when AF appears. To strengthen the heart AF patients should be on a full range of heart supporting nutrients such as minerals and trace minerals, co-Q10, L-carnitine, taurine, magnesium, vitamin C, fish oil, and thiamine. In addition, EDTA chelation therapy, in my experience, strengthens the heart and provides an anti-coagulant action of its own. These should be alternated with intravenous mineral drips and this sometimes stops AF. This is the course I myself would follow if I had AF, before I would consider the more radical solutions such as ablation of parts of the conducting system of the heart.

Of course you want to remove the sources of metals (dental fillings, fish consumption, industrial exposure), then chelate out the remaining body burden. I have had good success in slowing down some cases of AF with 18% magnesium chloride acetate from Cardiovascular Research.
