Atrial fibrillation, a common problem in patients with heart failure, is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Pharmacological as well as invasive management and the endpoints of such management are complex. Recent randomized trials indicate that a rate-control strategy, along with anticoagulation treatment with warfarin, when appropriate, has a similar outcome in terms of mortality and morbidity as rhythm control, and could, therefore, be considered as the primary management strategy for atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure.
心房颤动是心力衰竭患者的常见问题,与死亡率和发病率增加相关。药物治疗以及侵入性治疗及其治疗终点都很复杂。近期的随机试验表明,心率控制策略,以及在适当情况下使用华法林进行抗凝治疗,在死亡率和发病率方面与节律控制具有相似的结果,因此可被视为心力衰竭患者心房颤动的主要治疗策略。
