What Is Rate Control for Atrial Fibrillation? Rate control is not a cure for AFib, but a way of keeping your heart rate in check. It’s done with medications that keep your heart from beating too ...

A new study examined how treatments for atrial fibrillation (Afib) affected cognitive decline and frailty. Treating heart rate compared to rhythm was linked to a greater rate of cognitive decline, the ...

In randomized trials in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), treatment strategies that restore and maintain sinus rhythm (rhythm control) have not shown convincing advantages over those that simply ...

A deeper dive into the EAST-AFNET 4 trial did not reveal any clear explanation for the reduction in major cardiovascular events seen with early rhythm control versus usual care in patients recently ...

CHICAGO, IL (updated) — Either strategy may be more appropriate in individual patients, but overall, atrial fibrillation developing after heart surgery responds similarly to either rate-control or ...
