That has been discussed a lot over at the Lone Afib Forum, so check it out at the link below. The bulletin boards there get archived off after a while so you'll need to search each bulletin board separately. http://www.afibbers.org/toboards.htm. Mellanie Dan,

I am trying to figure out all the potential causes and this seems like a good area to investigate. Mercury is highly conductive and easily distributed through the mouth, after all. It would seem very possible that small amounts of mercury in the heart could disrupt the electrical rhythms, yes? If so, what might be done?
