Atrial fibrillation (AF) results from the chaotic depolarization of atrial tissue and is the most common dysrhythmia diagnosed in United States (US) emergency departments. AF affects greater than 1% of the general population, with a peak prevalence of 10% in those greater than 80 years of age. By 2050, it is estimated that nearly 16 million US patients

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2023
Evidence for diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has expanded substantially since 2017, when In the Clinic last considered this subject. Direct oral anticoagulants have become the predominant therapy for thromboembolic disease, and antidotes for these drugs are now available.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001
The conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) to normal sinus rhythm should be attempted in patients who present with this condition, as long as the cure is not worse than the disease itself. In young patients with normal hearts, AF has a small impact on morbidity and mortality.

Medical Journal of Australia, 2007
The incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation are increasing because of both population ageing and an age-adjusted increase in incidence of atrial fibrillation. Deciding between a rate control or rhythm control approach depends on patient age and comorbidities, symptoms and haemodynamic consequences of the arrhythmia, but either approach is ...

The Lancet, 2012
The management of atrial fibrillation has evolved greatly in the past few years, and many areas have had substantial advances or developments. Recognition of the limitations of aspirin and the availability of new oral anticoagulant drugs that overcome the inherent drawbacks associated with warfarin will enable widespread application of effective ...

Atrial fibrillation will present the most significant arrhythmia management challenge for clinicians in the new millennium, particularly as the percentage of elderly patients and longevity increase worldwide. The clinical manifestations of the arrhythmia are wide ranging: paroxysmal to permanent modes of occurrence and asymptomatic to severely ...

European Heart Journal, 1984
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia and one which may cause pilot incapacitation. In many cases there may be no more than one episode and there will be no organic heart disease. Prediction of the risk of recurrence is not possible. Atrial fibrillation in both paroxysmal and persistent forms should be disqualifying for Class I or unrestricted ...

Over 2 million people in the Untied States are known to have AF, and this number is expected to rise to 5 to 6 million in the next 50 years. In spite of advances in detection and treatment of AF, it is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Essential facts Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes an abnormal, sometimes fast pulse, and is the most common heart rhythm disturbance. It occurs when electrical impulses controlling the heart's natural rhythm lose co-ordination. People with AF have a four or five times higher risk of stroke because it increases the risk of a blood clot forming in the ...

Pseudoventricular fibrillation
Critical Care Medicine, 2001A case of atrial fibrillation with asystole was diagnosed as ventricular fibrillation because of the autogain feature of the electrocardiographic monitor. Direct current shock therapy was withheld only because the patient regained consciousness.
