About this document
Tyramine-Induced Atrial Fibrillation by Arleta Ford is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A 60-year-old man with a history of ischemic heart disease experienced episodes of atrial fibrillation triggered by tyramine-containing foods, despite not being on monoamine oxidase inhibitors. After eliminating these foods from his diet, he remained free of atrial fibrillation for twelve months. The case suggests that tyramine can precipitate cardiac arrhythmias in certain patients with ischemic heart disease.
