Is there a relationship between atrial fibrillation and digestion issues?

I have observed a direct connection between digestion and atrial fibrillation in my own case.
Following are my guidelines for avoiding a bout of AF:
* Stay away from extremely rich, greasy hard to digest foods.
* Eat slowly, chew carefully and take smaller portions.
* Eliminate foods that cause a build up of gas. This includes Carbonated Beverages.
* Wait for at least four hours after eating before going to bed.
* Consider slanting your bed up a few degrees to minimize acid reflux.
* Alcohol, MSG and caffeine may contribute to AF.

Atrial repolarization coincides in time with?
Atrial repolarization coincides with the QRS complex on the ECG. The T-wave corresponds to Ventricular repolarization. 'with tHE t-wave' <-- WRONG

Should emergency defibrillators be used on patients suffering atrial fibrillation attacks?
If patients with atrial fibrillation experience rapid heart rate (rapid ventricular response) and are hemodynamically unstable (hypotension, altered mental status) then electrical cardioversion is appropriate. Defibrillation is never utilized in atrial fibrillation.
