Rate vs rhythm control, what is new in esc 2020
The document discusses rate and rhythm control strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF) management. It recommends that a target heart rate of under 80 beats per minute at rest and under 110 beats per minute is sufficient for rate control of AF. While some antiarrhythmic drugs can help with rate control, amiodarone should generally only be used for rhythm control. Catheter ablation and pacemakers are options for non-pharmacological rate control. The document also discusses catheter ablation as a first-line therapy for AF according to recent clinical trials, and lifestyle modifications that can help reduce AF recurrence after ablation.
