Rhythm or rate control in persistent atrial fibrillation
Selecting appropriate treatment strategies for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation has often proved to be a quandary. Foregoing any debate on anticoagulant therapy, the remaining issue is whether the ultimate goal should be achieving and maintaining sinus rhythm or simply controlling the ventricular response during ongoing atrial fibrillation. Since atrial fibrillation affects 5% of th...

متن کاملMinimally Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation Patients Derive Significant Symptom Relief Following Rate Control or Rhythm Control Therapy
BACKGROUND It can be challenging to convince asymptomatic to minimally symptomatic patients to pursue treatment of their atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that once in sinus rhythm, asymptomatic to minimally symptomatic patients would realize they were compensating for moderate symptoms, and that we could quantify this via the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Severity of AF (CCS-SAF) sco...
