Medical managementbeginswith considerationofappropriateantithrombotic therapy.Coumadinhas shown to be superior to aspirin (ASA) or ASA in combination with clopidogrel for prevention of thromboemboliceventsinpatientswithnonvalvular-associatedAF. Directoralanticoagulants(DOAC)suchasdabigatran,rivaroxaban,apixaban,andedoxabanhavebeen directlycompared withwarfarininrandomizedprospective trials and havebeen showntobe either noninferiororsuperiortocoumadininpreventingstrokeinAFpatients. RatecontrolofAFisachievedwithmedicationsthatlimitconductionthroughtheAVnodesuchasnon-
dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (verapamil, diltiazem, etc.), β-adrenergic antagonists, anddigoxin.
Rhythm control can be attempted with selected antiarrhythmic drugs. Pharmacologic control with antiarrhythmic drugs is more effective at preventing recurrence of AF than chemical cardioversion (Table7-3).

Preventionofstrokeandsystemicemboli—centraltenetofAFmanagementisguidedbyindividual risk assessment. Systemic anticoagulation with coumadin or DOAC attenuates risk of stroke or systemicemboliassociatedwithAF. Use of oral anticoagulants requires careful risk–benefit analysis to identify patients who are at sufficientriskforthromboemboliceventswithoutsignificantriskofhemorrhagiccomplications.
CHA2DS2-VAScscore—validatedriskstratificationtoolusedinnonvalvularAFtopredictstroke orsystemicembolusriskbased onthepresenceoffollowing riskfactors:CHF, HTN,age>65or

For AF patients at risk for thromboembolism but unable to tolerate long-term anticoagulation,
https://t.me/med1917
considerationcan be given to percutaneous occlusionor surgical ligation of left atrial appendage (LAA). RoleofantithrombotictherapyleadinguptoandafterrestorationofSRdiscussedinthecontextof
cardioversion. Pharmacologic rate control of AF is achieved with drugs that prolong conduction through the AV node. Principally, these include the non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (diltiazem, verapamil), β-adrenergic blockers, and digoxin. Refer to Table 7-3 for loading and dosing recommendations.
DigoxincanbeusefulincontrollingtherestingventricularrateinAFinthesettingofLVdysfunction
andCHFwhenotheragents fail. Utility inother clinical settings islimitedbyreducedefficacyof
ratecontrolduringexertionandsignificantconcernsoftoxicity.
Digitalistoxicity is characterized bynausea, abdominalpain, vision changes, confusion,and delirium.Patientswithrenaldysfunctionareatriskfordigitalistoxicityasarepatientsonagents
knowntoincreasedigoxinlevels(e.g.,verapamil,diltiazem,erythromycin,cyclosporine). ParoxysmalATwithvaryingdegreesofAVblockandbidirectionalVT—mostcommonlyseen arrhythmiasinassociationwithdigitalistoxicity.Treatmentissupportive(i.e.,withholdingdrug, inserting temporary pacemaker for prolonged AV block, administering IV phenytoin for
bidirectionalVT).
Nonpharmacologic rate control—accomplished by AV nodal ablation in association with PPM
implantation. Strategy reserved for patients deemed to be in permanent AF, who have failed pharmacologicratecontrol,andinwhomrhythmcontroliseitherineffectiveorcontraindicated.
SECONDLINE
PharmacologicrhythmcontrolofAFaccomplishedwithantiarrhythmicdrugsthatmodifyimpulse formationorpropagationtopreventinitiationofAF.Riskofthromboembolismassociatedwith
pharmacologiccardioversionshouldbeconsideredbeforebeginningantiarrhythmicdrugtherapy.
PharmacologiccardioversionshouldbeperformedinhospitalsettingwithcontinuousECGmonitoring
duetosmallriskoflife-threateningtachy-orbradyarrhythmias.
Ibutilide—only drug approved by US Food and Drug Administration for pharmacologic
cardioversion.Clinicaltrialshaveshowna45%conversionrateforAFanda60%conversionrate
forAFL.
Ibutilideisassociatedwith4%–8%riskfortorsadesdepointes(TdP),especiallyinfirst2–4hours
afteradministration.Becauseofthis risk,patientsmustbe monitoredontelemetrywithanexternal
defibrillator immediatelyavailableduringibutilideinfusionandfor atleast4hoursafterinfusion.
TheriskforTdPishigherinpatientswithcardiomyopathyandCHF.
Ibutilideisadministeredintravenously,atdosageof1mg(0.01mg/kgifpatientis<60kg),infused
slowlyover10minutes.FasteradministrationcanpromoteTdP.
EfficacyofantiarrhythmicstoachievepharmacologicconversiondropssharplywhenAFis>7days
in duration. For shorter duration episodes, dofetilide, sotalol, flecainide, and propafenone have
someefficacy;amiodaronehaslimitedefficacytoachievepharmacologiccardioversion. Maintenance of NSR with antiarrhythmic agents is associated with small risk for life-threatening proarrhythmia. As a result, antiarrhythmic therapy should be reserved for patients who have symptomatic AF with or without adequaterate control. Commonly used antiarrhythmic agents, their major route of elimination, and dosing regimens are listed in Table 7-5. Most effective agents for maintenanceofSRareflecainide,propafenone,sotalol,dofetilide,amiodarone,anddronedarone.

NonpharmacologicTherapies
Nonpharmacologic methods of rhythm control include electrical cardioversion, catheter ablation,or surgicaltechniquesthatblockinitiationandmaintenanceofAF. Direct current cardioversion (DCCV)—safest and most effective method of acutely restoring SR. Priortocardioversion:
Consideration of anticoagulation is critical, to minimize thromboembolic events triggered by the cardioversionprocess.

Whenpractical, periprocedural sedationis accomplished withmidazolam(1–2 mgIV q2minto a maximumof5mg),methohexital(25–75mgIV),etomidate(0.2–0.6mg/kgIV),orpropofol(initial dose,5mg/kg/hIV). Proper synchronization of DC shock to the QRS is critical to avoid induction of VT by shock deliveredduringvulnerableperiodoftheventricle. Forcardioversionofatrial arrhythmias, anterior patchelectrode shouldbe positionedjustrightof the sternum at the level ofthird or fourthintercostal space, withsecondelectrode positionedjust belowleftscapulaposteriorly. Careshould betakentoposition patchelectrodesatleast6cm fromPPMorimplantablecardioverter–defibrillator(ICD)generators.If electrodepaddlesare used, firm pressure andconductive gel should be applied to minimize contact impedance. Direct contact with the patient or the bed should be avoided. Atropine (1 mg IV) should be readily available to treat prolonged pauses. Reports of serious arrhythmias, such as VT, ventricular fibrillation (VF), or asystole are rare and more likely in setting of improperly synchronized cardioversions,digitalistoxicity,orconcomitantantiarrhythmicdrugtherapy.

Successratesinthiscohortareintherangeof70%–80%over12–18monthsfollow-upperiod. Successratesarediminishedinpatientswithstructuralheartdisease,advancedage,andpersistent AF.Asignificantfractionofpatientsrequiremorethanoneablationproceduretoachievelong-term successfuleliminationofAF. Goal of catheter ablation in paroxysmal AF patients is to achieve electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins. In patients with persistent AF, this goal is frequently combined with substrate modificationstrategieswherebyregionsoftheatriaaretargetedforablationtoblockreentryorthe presenceoffocaldriversofAF.

VentricularTachyarrhythmias
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias should be initially approached with assumption that they will have malignantcourse,untilprovenotherwise. Characterizationofthearrhythmiainvolvesconsiderationofhemodynamicstability,durationandECG morphologyoftachycardia,andthepresenceorlackofunderlyingstructuralheartdisease. Characterizationwillaidindeterminingthepatient’sriskforsuddencardiacarrest(SCA)andneed fortherapeuticinterventionand/ordeviceimplantation.
