The clinical relevance and high social costs of atrial fibrillation have boosted interest in rate control as a cost-effective alternative to long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm (i.e. rhythm control). Prospective studies show that rate control (coupled with thromboembolic prophylaxis) is a valuable...
1、心房顫動(Atrial Fibrillation)之藥物治療(Pharmacotherapy)新知宋 瑞 珍前 言心房纖維顫動(AF)(atrial fibrillation)(如附圖所示)是臨床上心律不整疾病(cardiac rhythm disorders)中很常見的一種問題。在美國大約有230萬的成年病人有AF(1)。一般而言,AF的發生和心房(atrium)的退化病變(degenerative changes)有關...
Atrial fibrillation is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and the most common kind. It is caused by rapid, uncontrolled atrial contractions and uncoordinated ventricular responses.
Before discussing trials that have compared rhythm-control and rate-control strategies, a review of the evidence base of each is worthwhile. In the Canadian Trial of Atrial Fibrillation, patients with symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent AF were randomized to amiodarone, sotalol, or propafenone.1 Rhyt...
Agents used to relieve bronchospasm, notably theophyllines and beta-adrenergic agonists, may precipitate AF and make control of the ventricular response rate difficult. Recommendations for patients with atrial fibrillation and respiratory diseases. AF, atrial fibrillation. aClass of recommendation. bLevel ...
What is atrial fibrillation (A-fib)?A-fib is an irregular heartbeat that reduces your heart's ability to pump blood through your body. A-fib may come and go, or it may be a long-term condition. A-fib can cause life-threatening blood clots, stroke, or heart failure. It is important...
The optimal management of atrial fibrillation is of considerable clinical importance, and with the recent publication of four studies suggesting the equivalence of rate and rhythm control strategies, new attention has been focused on rate control. Reasons for rate control include reduction of symptoms ...
