Abstract
In the past few decades, extensive research has been conducted on atrial conduction disorders and their clinical relevance. Anassociation between interatrial block (IAB) and supraventricular arrhythmias [most commonly atrial fibrillation (AF)] has beendiscovered and extensively investigated. We coined the term “Bayés Syndrome” to describe this association, and the medicalcommunity has accepted the eponym in recognition to the scientist who discovered most of the aspects associated with it. Inthis non-systematic review, we will focus on the association between IAB and AF, with special emphasis on the value of thesurface 12-lead ECG as a valid tool to predict AF.
