Rate versus Rhythm Control in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Time to Change the Paradigm?

By Drs. Christopher Cheung, Kenneth Gin, Jason Andrade on February 10, 2021

Patients with persistent AF, less symptomatic and/or older patients, and those with prior anti-arrhythmic failure are best managed with a rate control strategy.
