Abstract
This article provides the experience of examination and treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients with concomitant obesity, arterial hypertension and/or ischemic heart disease, who were prescribed levocarnitine in addition to traditional therapy. The addition of levocarnitine in management of atrial fibrillation was found to be capable of reducing the atrial fibrillation burden after cardioversion and improve the functional state of the patients.
