ATRIAL FIBRILLATION...
ORLANDO, Florida - Results from the RecordAF registry, presented today at
the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, show that in
recently diagnosed and actively treated patients with atrial fibrillation, a
rhythm-control strategy provides better short term control of the arrhythmia
versus a rate-control strategy but does not translate into a reduction in the
occurrence of clinical events at 1 year. RecordAF also confirmed that these
patients suffer from a high rate of clinical events, mainly cardiovascular
hospitalisations.
