Rate-control vs. rhythm-control in patients with atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis.
AIMS To systematically assess the risk/benefit ratio of a rate-control strategy vs. a rhythm-control strategy in patients with first or recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS We searched Medline, CENTRAL, and other sources up to September 2004 for randomized trials. Individual and pooled random-effect odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) [OR (95% CI)] were calcul...
متن کاملRate vs rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND The 2 fundamental approaches to the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) are reestablishing and maintaining sinus rhythm (rhythm control) and controlling ventricular rate with atrioventricular node blocking agents (rate control). We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing these strategies in patients with AF to add precision to the relative merits of bot...

متن کاملAtrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure: a cost analysis of rhythm-control vs. rate-control strategies.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with heart failure. Rhythm- and rate-control strategies are associated with similar efficacy outcomes. We compared the economic impact of the 2 treatment strategies in patients with AF and heart failure from the province of Québec, Canada. METHODS In a substudy of the Atrial Fibrillation and Congestive Heart Failure trial, health care ...
متن کاملRate versus rhythm control in atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether rate control is a viable initial treatment approach in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) through the evaluation of recently completed trials comparing rate and rhythm control. DATA SOURCES Biomedical literature was obtained through MEDLINE (1966-December 2003) and the Iowa database. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Articles identified from the biomedical ...
