*Jean-Baptiste de Senac (1693–1770) reported [[mitral valve]] [[diseases]] and the subsequent reflux as the etiology of [[atrial fibrillation]]. He described how reflux leads to a dilated [[atrium]] which causes an irregular and abnormal [[atrium]] activity. Moreover he seems to be the first one who noticed that origin of [[atrial fibrillation]] is different from normal [[heart]] [[pulses]].<ref name="pmid7049202">{{cite journal| author=McMichael J| title=History of atrial fibrillation 1628-1819 Harvey - de Senac - Laënnec. | journal=Br Heart J | year= 1982 | volume= 48 | issue= 3 | pages= 193-7 | pmid=7049202 | doi=10.1136/hrt.48.3.193 | pmc=481228 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7049202  }} </ref>
