The REgistry on Cardiac rhythm disORDers assessing the control of Atrial Fibrillation
(RecordAF) is the first worldwide, 1-year observational, longitudinal study of the …

Objectives: RECORDAF is the first worldwide, prospective, observational survey of
management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in unselected, community-based patients. Background …

INTRODUCTION: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) may progress to persistent AF. We
studied the clinical correlates and the effect of rhythm-control strategy on AF progression …

The progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) to a more sustained form is associated with
increased symptoms and morbidity. The aims of the REgistry on Cardiac Rhythm DisORDers …

The goals of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) arrhythmia management are to
alleviate patient symptoms, improve patient quality of life, and minimize the morbidity …

Background The AFFIRM Study was a randomized multicenter comparison of 2 treatment
strategies, rate-control versus rhythm-control, in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Background In contrast to historical trials, the Early Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation for Stroke
Prevention Trial (EAST-AFNET 4) suggests the superiority of early rhythm control over rate …

BACKGROUND: All patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) require optimization of their
ventricular rate. Factors leading to use of additional rhythm control in clinical practice have …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Treatment strategies are
focused on reducing symptoms and minimizing the risks of atrial fibrillation like stroke and …

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, the pharmacologic management of atrial fibrillation (AF), the
most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, has been dichotomized into control of …
