4. Paradoxical embolism. A diagnostic challenge and its detection during life;Cheng, T.O.;Circulation; In previous reports of insulin-induced hypoglycaemia and atrial fibrillation, sinus rhythm returned spontaneously within 1 h of the administration ofdextrose,-3 but one patient was described who reverted to sinus rhythm after 24 h.4 Whilst it is possible that our patient simply had the coincidental occurrence of the two diseases, on at least one occasion a temporal association was established between the occurrence of hypoglycaemia and atrial flutter, and he returned to sinus rhythm within 24 h of the correction of hypoglycaemia, without any specific antiarrhythmic therapy,1976
5. Recent case reports have noted an association between hypoglycaemia and atrial fibrillation in diabetic patients.",2 We have also seen a patient who presented with hypoglycaemia caused by an insulinoma, with coincidental atrial flutter. A 70 year old male presented with;Sir,a 6 month history of
