Common questions
What does Atrial Fibrillation Rate/Rhythm Control Strategy do?
Use to manage AF: unstable patients get emergency cardioversion, while stable patients are guided to rate or rhythm control by LVEF, symptoms, and AF duration.
How is the result calculated?
Unstable → emergency synchronized cardioversion. Stable → rate control (resting < 110, drug by LVEF) ± early rhythm control if symptomatic/HF/new; cardioversion anticoagulation by AF duration (3 weeks pre + 4 weeks post if ≥ 48 h, or TEE-guided).
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
