Treatment Targets in Atrial Fibrillation: “Is Feeling Better Good Enough?”⁎
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia necessitating medical therapy. The majority of AF patients have associated cardiovascular comorbidities that increase the risk of negative cardiovascular outcomes, including excess morbidity, hospitalizations, and mortality (). Data assessing a disease management strategy of rate versus rhythm control have produced clear variations when viewed from a real-world clinical perspective (). These data emphasize that the treatment of AF involves 3 nonmutually exclusive principles: 1) prevention of stroke and systemic embolism; 2) ventricular rate control during AF;...
