Core Tip	The link between gastroesophageal reflux disease and atrial fibrillation is currently not understood completely. A few papers from the literature address this issue, but none has been able to draw firm conclusions. This review of the literature analyzes the potential relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease and the development of atrial fibrillation. Five electronic databases were screened for publications on gastroesophageal reflux disease and atrial fibrillation in adults and the 8 articles found are analyzed and discussed. Although evidence on atrial fibrillation associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease exists, large randomized clinical studies are required to provide definite answers.
