Editor's Notes

  1. Most patients with symptomatic AFib require therapeutic intervention involving either reduction of symptoms by ventricular rate control (coupled with anticoagulation) or reduction of symptoms by the pursuit of sinus rhythm with the aid of antiarrhythmic agents. Each approach has potential benefits or advantages (pros) and relative disadvantages (cons). These must be considered in making individualized decisions for each patient
