This tachyarrhythmia may or may not produce symptoms. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) ranges from 0.5 to 1%. [1,2,3,4] Discrepancies may be seen with gender, race, and the presence or absence of cardiovascular disease.There is an increased prevalence of AF in age-adjusted male population as compared to women.

Effective Date 3/20/1. The AFFIRM trial (Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management), which is still in progress, is comparing maintenance of sinus rhythm with rate control in patients with AF, addressing many facets of quality of life, as did the smaller PIAF (Pharmacological Intervention in Atrial Fibrillation… Hindricks G, Potpara T, Dagres N, et al. Initial management with a rate-control strategy (aiming to control ventricular rate, but with no commitment to restore or maintain sinus rhythm), depends on the severity and duration of symptoms, and is individualised for each patient. The ECG will show a fast, broad QRS irregular rhythm with delta waves. The following is a list of the most common symptoms. January CT, Wann LS, Alpert JS, et al. 70% of afflicted persons are between the ages 65 and 85 with a median age of diagnosis of 75 years. When atrial fibrillation occurs with a (RVR) rapid ventricular rate (rate > 100 beats/min), this is called a tachyarrhythmia.
