RHYTHMA study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine examines the association between early rhythm control therapy and cardiovascular outcomes in low-risk patients with atrial fibrillation. The study finds that while early rhythm control therapy is beneficial for high-risk patients, its ...
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain (HealthDay)—For patients with atrial fibrillation and signs and symptoms of heart failure, early rhythm control (ERC) therapy reduces cardiovascular events, according to a study published online July 30 inCirculationto coincide with the annual meeting of the Heart...
Background therapy, split into patients entering the trial in sinus rhythm and in atrial fibrillation (AF), by randomized group. Initial rhythm control therapy is provided versus rate control therapy at baseline and at 2 years of follow-up. Table 2. Analyses of Outcome Parameters Empty CellFirst...
Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AFCA) is an established therapeutic option for rhythm control in symptomatic patients. Its efficacy and safety am... M Anselmi...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has traditionally been considered an electrical heart disease. However, genetic studies have revealed that the structural architecture of the heart also play a significant role. We evaluated the functional and structural conseque

BackgroundIn hemodynamically stable patients, mortality and morbidity related to atrial fibrillation are mainly due to cardioembolic disorder. No difference in the survival rate and incidence of embolic events has been described in patients undergoing rhythm or rate control if the latter is combi...年...

Munger:Going back 20 years to early in my career, there wasthe large AFFIRM trial, in which over 4000 patients were randomized to receive either rate control or rhythm control. That was a neutral study that didn't show a benefit for mortality or stroke at early maintenance of sinus rhythm...
