Recent advances in rhythm control for atrial fibrillation [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2017
Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a difficult management problem. The restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm—rhythm control therapy—can markedly improve symptoms and haemodynamics for patients who have paroxysmal or persistent AF, but some patients ...
