Abstract | Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often associated with limiting symptoms, and with significant impairment in quality of life. As such, treatment strategies aimed at symptom control form an important pillar of AF management. Such treatments include a wide variety of drugs and interventions, including, increasingly, catheter ablation. These strategies can be utilised either singly or in combination, to improve and restore quality of life for patients, and this review covers the current evidence base underpinning their use. In this Review, we discuss the pros and cons of rate vs. rhythm control, while offering practical tips to non-specialists on how to utilise various treatments and counsel patients about all relevant treatment options. These include antiarrhythmic and rate control medications, as well as interventions such as cardioversion, catheter ablation, and pace-and-ablate. |
