Atrial fibrillation in heart failure: what should we do?

TL;DR: This review evaluates the common mechanisms for the development of AF in HF patients and vice versa, focusing on the evidence for potential treatment strategies, and proposes an easy-to-use clinical mnemonic to aid the initial management of newly discovered concomitant HF and AF.

Surgical ablation as treatment for the elimination of atrial fibrillation: A meta-analysis
