ACC/AHA/ESC
Guidelines for the
Management of
Patients With Atrial
Fibrillation

ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines prepared over two years:
12 committee members, 4 European, 4 North American
electrophysiologists. Updated 2006

Exhaustive review process based on published
literature: evidence-based recommendations and
derived from published data.

Strong emphasis on randomized trials: little tolerance
for “experience” or anecdotal data

•Study design: Randomized trial comparing rate vs rhythm control
in patients with Afib and EF<35%
•1376 patients from 123 centers

Primary Endpoint Results
NEJM June 2008
Optimal Rate Control Therapy
Afib Guidelines Focused Update
Treatment to achieve strict heart rate control
(<80 bpm resting, <110 bpm during exercise) is
not beneficial compared to achieving a resting
heart rate < 110 bpm.
 New recommendation

Rhythm Control
vs Heart Rate Control
“Reasons for restoration and maintenance of
sinus rhythm in patients with AF include relief
of symptoms, prevention of embolism, and
avoidance of cardiomyopathy.”
ACC/AHA/ESC AF Guidelines, 2001
Rhythm Control
vs Heart Rate Control
“An effective method for maintaining sinus
rhythm with fewer side effects would address
a presently unmet need”

Expectations of Antiarrhythmic
Drug Therapy in Treatment of AF


Complete suppression
 Best, but AF recurrence likely (>50% of
patients)
 Recurrence, per se, is not failure of
therapy
Frequency of recurrence
 More realistic measure of efficacy
 May vary from patient to patient
ACE/ARB Antiarrhythmic Properties
•Healey, et al JACC 2005
•Meta-analysis of randomized trials involving ACE/ARB
therapy
•Included trials if atrial fibrillation events were followed as
endpoints
•11 Trials/56,308 patients – 4 CHF, 3 Htn, 2 post CV, 2 post
MI
•Overall risk reduction of AF occurrence 28% (greatest benefit
seen in CHF patients, limited benefit in hypertensive patients)
Curative Ablation for
Atrial Fibrillation
Appropriate for Patients
•With symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation
•Who are intolerant of drug therapy
•Who have frequent ambient atrial ectopic activity
•Who have tachycardia mediated tachycardia

True Pulmonary Vein Isolation
•Randomized trial comparing pulmonary vein isolation (41 patients)
to AV node ablation and biventricular pacing (40 patients)
•Drug refractory atrial fibrillation and EF <40%
•Composite endpoint included QOL questionnaire, 2D-echo follow
up and 6 minute walk distance

Conclusions
•In patients with EF<40% and symptomatic atrial
fibrillation, pulmonary vein isolation was superior
to AV node ablation
•In such a population, pulmonary vein isolation should
be considered at experienced centers
A Rational Approach to the Afib
Patient
What is the pathophysiology of the patient’s Afib?
What are the patients symptoms?
Will the patient benefit from cardioversion? SR
maintenance?
Has anticoagulation been considered and implemented?
Has the patient failed drug therapy?
Invasive strategy considered for pharmacologic failures
