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 کاملA comparison of rate control and rhythm control in patients with recurrent persistent atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Maintenance of sinus rhythm is the main therapeutic goal in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, recurrences of atrial fibrillation and side effects of antiarrhythmic drugs offset the benefits of sinus rhythm. We hypothesized that ventricular rate control is not inferior to the maintenance of sinus rhythm for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. METHODS We randomly assigned...
