A practical approach to atrial fibrillation

Abstract
Management of atrial fibrillation is still an individualized proposition, requiring considerable clinical judgment to select the most effective means of controlling cardiac rate and rhythm and preventing thromboembolism and stroke. The advantages and disadvantages of electric shock cardioversion, catheter ablation, and several medicinal and mechanical agents are discussed.
