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 ...
The efficacy of catheter ablation for heart failure (HF) patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) hinged on the phenotype of disease, researchers reported based on a meta-analysis. Compared with ...
Old concerns about the safety of rhythm control drugs for atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) resurfaced in a contemporary large Korean population-based study. Afib patients prescribed antiarrhythmic ...
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 ...
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), along with several other leading medical associations, have issued a new guideline for preventing and optimally ...

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm, also called an arrhythmia and can create blood ...
With symptoms such as a racing, fluttering heartbeat and shortness of breath, atrial fibrillation (AFib) is more than uncomfortable — it makes stroke five times more likely and, over time, can weaken ...
