The aim of this review was to study the role of the autonomic nervous system in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as to establish the relationship of autonomic regulation with other mechanisms underlying the AF At present, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the AF have not been precisely established. There is interest in evidence showing that both sympathetic outflow and an increased vagal tone can initiate and support AF. As modern studies have shown, autonomic cardiac regulation can be an important factor in the pathogenesis of AF.

Though detailed knowledge of the autonomic nervous system is comparatively recent, the initial conceptions of its nature have undergone very important modifications during the time it has been known. This is mainly due to the fact that originally the anatomical discovery was taken up by investigators in various branches of clinical medicine, physiology and pharmacology, and made a special subject for detailed research. Especially did the dualism which is so remarkable a feature of the autonomic nervous system give rise to a number of theories about the relationship of the two components.
