Rhythm control strategies for "symptomatic" persistent atrial fibrillation: is achieving sinus rhythm enough?

Heart
T R Betts

Abstract

A significant proportion of symptomatic patients who undergo DC cardioversion for persistent atrial fibrillation are unable to correctly perceive their rhythm shortly afterwards. Restoration of sinus rhythm does not necessarily result in improvement in symptoms.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
