Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of rate control and rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation.
D. G. Wyse,Albert L. Waldo,John P. DiMarco,Michael J. Domanski,Yves Rosenberg,Eleanor Schron,Joyce C Kellen,H L Greene,M C Mickel,J E Dalquist,Scott D. Corley +10 more
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: The possibility that interventions to promote normal weight may reduce the population burden of AF is raised, as the excess risk of AF associated with obesity appears to be mediated by left atrial dilatation.
