Integrated Management of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation.

The global incidence of atrial fibrillation is on the rise. Atrial fibrillation, a complex disease, heightens the likelihood of heart failure, stroke, and mortality, necessitating careful attention. Controlling heart rate and rhythm, addressing risk factors, and preventing strokes are fundamental in treating atrial fibrillation.

Multidisciplinary management strategies for atrial fibrillation.

There has been a significant increase in the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) over the past 30 years. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment for AF, but research investigations have shown that AF recurrence still occurs in a significant number of patients after ablation. Heart rhythm outcomes following catheter ablation are correlated with numerous clinical factors, and researchers developed predictive models by integrating risk factors to predict the risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation.
