Controversies in atrial fibrillation


The Guidelines for the management of atrial fibrillation by The Task Force for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) gives a comprehensive coverage of  Atrial Fibrillation do we have a clear idea on

Does mechanisms governing atrial fibrillation in individual patients be elucidated and how much does it matter

Which is the better strategy for atrial fibrillation—rhythm control or rate control?

What is adequate rate control?

Does electrical remodelling favour early cardioversion for rhythm control?

If rhythm control is selected for patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation, what is the relative role of pharmacological cardioversion versus electrical cardioversion?

If rhythm control is selected, what is the role for curative ablation procedures and how do they work?

Which patients with atrial fibrillation need oral anticoagulation?

Is the cry over newer anticoagulants settled ?
