Rhythm Control in Heart Failure Patients with Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
AF and heart failure (HF) commonly coexist. Left atrial ablation is an effective treatment to maintain sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with AF. Recent evidence suggests that the use of ablation for AF in patients with HF is associated with an improved left

Rhythm control and cardioversion [PDF]
The three main aims of treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are: (1) to suppress paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and maintain long-term sinus rhythm; (2) to control heart rate during paroxysms of atrial fibrillation if they occur; and (3) to prevent the complications associated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation—that is, stroke and ...
