Roemheld Gastrocardiac Syndrome

It has become clear that GERD and AF are two illnesses that cross paths in various clinical practices, thus warranting further investigation. The overlap and link between the gastrointestinal symptoms and arrhythmias was first observed by Ludwig Roemheld and labeled “Roemheld Gastrocardiac Syndrome," also known as gastric-cardia, where esophagogastric acid was able to induce arrhythmia-related symptoms [8].
