Abstract
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent cardiac arrythmia in cattle. It is reported to occur in adult dairy cows and is associated with gas trointestinal ( functionnal arrythmia) or cardiac (organic diseases of the heart) disorders. Electrocardiographic findings help to realise t he diagnosis. Treatment with quinidine allows conversion to normal sin us rhythm. However, side effects are commonly observed.
