TL;DR: The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Atrial Fibrillation Guidelines Committee provides periodic reviews of new data to produce focused updates that address clinically important advances in atrial fibrillation (AF) management.

Emergency department observation units: A clinical and financial benefit for hospitals.
TL;DR: Emergency department observation units provide high-quality and efficient care to patients with common complaints seen in the emergency department and can increase patient safety and satisfaction while decreasing unnecessary inpatient admissions and improving fiscal performance for both emergency departments and the hospitals in which they operate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canadian Cardiovascular Society atrial fibrillation guidelines 2010: management of recent-onset atrial fibrillation and flutter in the emergency department.
Ian G. Stiell,Laurent Macle +1 more
TL;DR: Adequate follow-up of patients with recent-onset AF/AFL is recommended to identify structural heart disease and evaluate the need for long-term antithrombotic or antiarrhythmic therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early or Delayed Cardioversion in Recent-Onset Atrial Fibrillation
TL;DR: In patients presenting to the emergency department with recent‐onset, symptomatic atrial fibrillation, a wait‐and‐see approach was noninferior to early cardioversion in achieving a return to sinus rhythm at 4 weeks.

TL;DR: There was a significant AF-sex interaction: AF diminished the female advantage in survival and AF remained significantly associated with excess mortality, with about a doubling of mortality in both sexes in subjects free of valvular heart disease and preexisting cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Management of atrial fibrillation with the rhythm-control strategy offers no survival advantage over the rate- control strategy, and there are potential advantages, such as a lower risk of adverse drug effects, with the rate -control strategy.

TL;DR: Rate control is not inferior to rhythm control for the prevention of death and morbidity from cardiovascular causes and may be appropriate therapy in patients with a recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion.
