risk factor controlAtrial fibrillation (AF) management is undergoing a transformative shift, embracing an early, comprehensive approach that integrates risk factor control and intervention. Traditional anti-arrhythmic medications are being enhanced by innovative agents, while catheter ablation has advanced ...
The first step to manage youratrial fibrillation(AFib) is to talk to your doctor about treatments that will control your heart rate or heart rhythm. One way to control your AFib is to take rhythm control medication, which helps your heart return to and stay in a normal rhythm. This is al...
Many patients with atrial fibrillation have substantial symptoms despite ventricular rate control and require restoration of sinus rhythm to improve their quality of life. Acute restoration (ie, cardioversion) and maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation are referred to as rhythm ...
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 Rhy...
In randomized trials in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), treatment strategies that restore and maintain sinus rhythm (rhythm control) have not shown convincing advantages over those that simply control heart rate (rate control). But which strategy is better for patients with AF and heart fai...
Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for cardiac mortality. The main causes of hemodynamic impairment are the loss of atrial contribution and the development of tachycardiomyopathy. Therefore, the therapeutic aim should be rhythm control or rate control. The results of large trials, e.g...
