The Atrial Fibrillation and Congestive Heart Failure (AF-CHF) trial randomized 1376 patients with AF and CHF to rhythm- or rate-control treatment strategies.
-
This study examines the influence of renal dysfunction on stroke risks in two atrial fibrillation (AF) study groups. The ROCKET AF trial was a trial comparing fixed-dose rivaroxaban, a direct factor Xa inhibitor, with adjusted-dose warfarin for prevention of thromboembolic events.

Aspirin use and AMD risk; using NSAIDs and antihypertensive agents; and FDA actions.
-
The accurate and timely recognition of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) may facilitate the deployment of evidence-based therapies that could impact outcomes.
-
Beta-blockers are widely considered first-line therapy for heart rate control in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF), but few comparative effectiveness data with other drugs are available.
