Abstract
A 72-year-old female presented with an acute flaure of Crohn's disease and received intravenous methylprednisolone. The following morning ECG showed atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response of 111 bts/min, which spontaneously resolved within 7 hours. The underlying arrhythmogenenic mechanism is unknown.
