Incidence And Treatment Of Atrial Fibrillation In Cardiac Amyloidosis

Atrial fibrillation and/or flutter (AF/flutter) are common in cardiac amyloidosis. Treatment options for AF/flutter include rate control or rhythm control with antiarrhythmic medications, cardioversion, and catheter ablation, though the relative benefit and efficacy of these therapies remain unclear. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the prevalence of AF in cardiac amyloidosis at our center as well as the frequency and efficacy of the varied management strategies.
