Strict Detailed Balance is Unnecessary in Monte Carlo Simulation
Detailed balance is an overly strict condition to ensure a valid Monte Carlo simulation. We show that, under fairly general assumptions, a Monte Carlo simulation need satisfy only the weaker balance condition. Not only does our proof show that sequential updating schemes are correct, but also it establishes the correctness of a whole class of new methods that simply leave the Boltzmann distribu...
متن کاملLenient versus strict rate control in atrial fibrillation.
At the turn of the century, a spate of randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) compared the 2 main pharmacological options for rhythm management for atrial fibrillation (AF): repeated attempts to restore and maintain sinus rhythm (rhythm control) and controlling the heart rate without any specific attempts to restore and maintain sinus rhythm (rate control) (1). Largely driven by results of the 2 ...
متن کاملLenient versus strict rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Rate control is often the therapy of choice for atrial fibrillation. Guidelines recommend strict rate control, but this is not based on clinical evidence. We hypothesized that lenient rate control is not inferior to strict rate control for preventing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. METHODS We randomly assigned 614 patients with...
متن کاملA review of rate control in atrial fibrillation, and the rationale and protocol for the RATE-AF trial
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and causes impaired quality of life, an increased risk of stroke and death as well as frequent hospital admissions. The majority of patients with AF require control of heart rate. In this article , we summarise the limited evidence from clinical trials that guides prescription, and present the rationale and protocol for a new randomise...
متن کاملRate Control in Atrial Fibrillation: Methods for Assessment, Targets for Ventricular Rate during AF, and Clinical Relevance for Device Therapy.
Rate control is a widely used treatment strategy for management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Multiple studies have shown that pharmacologic rate control is as effective as pharmacologic rhythm control for management of AF. A snapshot ECG or intermittent monitoring using Holters is the most widely used technique for assessing ventricular rate during AF. Patients with implantable de...
