Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly coexist and adversely affect mortality when found together. AF begets HF and HF begets AF. Rhythm restoration with antiarrhythmic drugs failed to show a mortality benefit but can be effective in improving symptoms. Nonpharmacologic treatment of AF may be of value in the HF population.
心力衰竭（HF）和心房颤动（AF）常同时存在，二者并存时会对死亡率产生不利影响。AF会引发HF，HF也会引发AF。使用抗心律失常药物恢复心律未能显示出对死亡率的益处，但在改善症状方面可能有效。AF的非药物治疗对HF人群可能有价值。
