Would it be possible that the real explanation is hidden in physics territory but not in medicine? Could it be possible that the heart behaves like a biological generator in physics? Can an abnormal inscription direction (AID) or an abnormal slow conduction (ASC) of the P loop explain the genesis of af or AF? Results: Thirty (54%) patients had abnormal inscription direction of the P loop. Seven (13%) among 55 patients developed af or AF. Six of the seven had AID of the P loop. All seven had right or left atrial enlargement. They were among 50 patients (91%)with abnormal atrium enlargement. Four among the seven had ASC of the P loop. There were 27 patients (49%) among the total 55 with ASC of the P loop. Conclusions: The heart is a biological generator, which has also inherited the same problems as generators. The types of figure-of-eight or clockwise rotation of the P loop, which are linked with the partial or complete negative sequence in physics have been documented. Based on negative sequence voltages in physics, a new theory of af, AF, or atrial premature contraction has been proposed. |
