Can J Cardiol 2006; 22: 383-386 Classification of Atrial Fibrillation First detected Paroxysmal ≤7 da (Self terminating) Persistent Persistent >7da-1 yr (Not self self-terminating) terminating) Permanent Patterns of AF Lone AF – young (< 60 yr), no clinical or ECHO evidence of cardiopulmonary disease or hypertension Nonvalvular AF – no rheumatic MVD, MV repair, or prosthesis Secondary AF – in setting of AMI, peri- or post-operative, myocarditis, hyperthyroid, PE, pneumonia, etc Management NO Defibrillate DECISION TREE STABLE? YES Drugs Can you safely cardiovert acute AF? 2, 3, 4 RULE If in AF for greater than TWO days (or unknown) must anticouagulate (INR 2-3) for THREE weeks before an attempt to cardiovert and then continue coumadin for FOUR weeks afterwards if successful 60% of acute AF convert spontaneously if onset <24 hrs Medications for Acute Cardioversion Rate control Rhythm control Beta blocker Amiodarone metoprolol 5mg IV q5 minutes Rate limiting calcium blocker verapamil 5mg IV q5 minutes x 3 diltiazem 5-10mg IV and 10-15mg/hr IV drip Digoxin 150-300mg IV load and then 1-2g IV/daily Sotalol 40-80mg pO BID Propafenone 450-600mg pO x 1 dose 0.5mg IV load and then 0.25mg IV q 6-8hrs x 2 Paroxysmal AFib can revert to NSR spontaneously 30% of the time within 1 day! The Stable Patient: Rate vs Rhythm Control Redux Heart Rate Control • Believed to be associated with improved symptoms, better functional status and reduced chance of tachycardia mediated cardiomyopathy • Belief is extrapololated from epidemiological data suggesting that faster heart rates in NSR associated with increased mortality • Current guidelines (little evidence underpinning) • Resting HR <80 BPM • Exercise induced HR <110 BPM Strict control Lenient control N=303 N=311 % meeting target HR 67.0% 97.7% Total # of OP visits 684 75 Mortality (%) 6.6 5.6 Min F/U 2 years, Max F/U 3 years Primary Endpoint: CV death/CHF hospitalization/CVA/TE/Bleeding/life threatening arrhythmias Van den Berg et al.

NEJM 2002; 347: 1825-1833 Nuances of AFFIRM • Mean age of patients was 70 years of age • Majority of patients had either hypertension (51%) or CAD (26%); only 12% of patients had no history of cardiovascular disease • This population is known to have increased risk of proarrhythmia from currently available antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) • Rhythm control strategy associated with improvement in functional status Classes of available antiarrhythmic drugs and site of action Disopyramide Class Ia Procainamide Quinidine Class Ib Class Ic Class II CLASS IV Lidocaine Mexilitine Flecainide CLASS III Propafenone eg propranolol Amiodarone Bretylium Class III Dofetilide Ibutilide Sotalol Class IV non dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers eg verapamil and diltiazem ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 guidelines.
