OBJECTIVES
Management of atrial fibrillation (AF) with rate and/or rhythm control could lead to fall‐related injuries and syncope, especially in the older AF population. We aimed to determine the association of rate and/or rhythm control with fall‐related injuries and syncope in a real‐world older AF cohort.
