Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to offer a management challenge to physicians. The incidence of this arrhythmia is rising and the cost to the healthcare system is vast. Much of this health burden relates to the high risk of stroke and thromboembolism associated with AF. This review covers common treatment strategies employed in AF management, discusses relevant drug therapy and the role of electrophysiology or surgery.
