Atrial fibrillation in heart failure.
Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are highly prevalent debilitating conditions that often coexist and are frequently encountered in clinical practice. The presence of chronic AF is a marker of worse prognosis in patients with HF, and the onset of new AF in those with chronic HF is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Advances in the development of novel drugs, nonpha...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation and heart failure.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure (CHF) are the new epidemics of the third millennium due to ageing of the population and the success of new therapies for acute cardiac illnesses that, in the past, were fatal. The interactions between AF and CHF are only partially understood, and the effectiveness of drugs as well as that of non-pharmacological interventions remains often di...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure.
Atrial fibrillation is common in heart failure patients and is associated with increased mortality. Pharmacologic trials have not shown any survival benefit for a rhythm control over a rate control strategy. It has been suggested that sinus rhythm is associated with a survival benefit, but that the risks of anti-arrhythmic drug treatment and poor efficacy offset the beneficial effect. Catheter ...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation in the heart failure population.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic arrhythmia. Incidence of AF in the heart failure population is high--10% to 30%--and is associated with a reduction in exercise capacity and a poor long-term prognosis. Management of AF includes 4 strategies: control of heart rate, termination of AF/conversion back to sinus rhythm, prevention of recurrences, and prevention of thromboembolic ev...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation and heart failure: update 2015.
Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly coexist, adversely affect mortality, and impose a significant burden on healthcare resources. The presence of AF and HF portends a poor prognosis as well as an increased thromboembolic risk. In patients whose AF is symptomatic, rhythm restoration with either antiarrhythmic drugs or procedural therapies (e.g., pulmonary vein isolation, eit...
