Medications
Medical managementbeginswith considerationofappropriateantithrombotic therapy.Coumadinhas
shown to be superior to aspirin (ASA) or ASA in combination with clopidogrel for prevention of
thromboemboliceventsinpatientswithnonvalvular-associatedAF.
Directoralanticoagulants(DOAC)suchasdabigatran,rivaroxaban,apixaban,andedoxabanhavebeen
directlycompared withwarfarininrandomizedprospective trials and havebeen showntobe either
noninferiororsuperiortocoumadininpreventingstrokeinAFpatients.
RatecontrolofAFisachievedwithmedicationsthatlimitconductionthroughtheAVnodesuchasnon-
dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (verapamil, diltiazem, etc.), β-adrenergic antagonists,
anddigoxin.
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
(Table7-3).

RoleofantithrombotictherapyleadinguptoandafterrestorationofSRdiscussedinthecontextof
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.
DigoxincanbeusefulincontrollingtherestingventricularrateinAFinthesettingofLVdysfunction

inserting temporary pacemaker for prolonged AV block, administering IV phenytoin for

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

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 adequaterate control. Commonly used antiarrhythmic agents, their
major route of elimination, and dosing regimens are listed in Table 7-5. Most effective agents for
maintenanceofSRareflecainide,propafenone,sotalol,dofetilide,amiodarone,anddronedarone.

NonpharmacologicTherapies
Nonpharmacologic methods of rhythm control include electrical cardioversion, catheter ablation,or
surgicaltechniquesthatblockinitiationandmaintenanceofAF.
Direct current cardioversion (DCCV)—safest and most effective method of acutely restoring SR.
Priortocardioversion:
Consideration of anticoagulation is critical, to minimize thromboembolic events triggered by the
cardioversionprocess.
AFwith RVR insetting of ongoing myocardial ischemia, MI,hypotension,or respiratorydistress
shouldreceivepromptcardioversionregardlessoftheanticoagulationstatus.
If duration of AF is <48 hours, cardioversion may proceed without anticoagulation. If AF has
persistedfor>48hours(orforunknownduration),patientsshouldbetherapeuticallyanticoagulated
for at least 3 weeks before cardioversion (elective situation), and anticoagulation should be
continuedfollowingsuccessfulcardioversionforaminimumof4weeks.
Alternative to anticoagulation for 3 weeks prior to cardioversion is to perform transesophageal
echocardiogram to rule out LAA thrombus before cardioversion. This method is safe and has
https://t.me/med1917

advantage of shorter time to cardioversion. Therapeutic anticoagulation is indicated after
cardioversionforminimumof4weeks.
14
Whenpractical, periprocedural sedationis accomplished withmidazolam(1–2 mgIV q2minto a
maximumof5mg),methohexital(25–75mgIV),etomidate(0.2–0.6mg/kgIV),orpropofol(initial
dose,5mg/kg/hIV).
Proper synchronization of DC shock to the QRS is critical to avoid induction of VT by shock
deliveredduringvulnerableperiodoftheventricle.
Forcardioversionofatrial arrhythmias, anterior patchelectrode shouldbe positionedjustrightof
the sternum at the level ofthird or fourthintercostal space, withsecondelectrode positionedjust
belowleftscapulaposteriorly. Careshould betakentoposition patchelectrodesatleast6cm
fromPPMorimplantablecardioverter–defibrillator(ICD)generators.If electrodepaddlesare
used, firm pressure andconductive 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,digitalistoxicity,orconcomitantantiarrhythmicdrugtherapy.
Catheter ablation of AF—highly effective in younger patients with structurally normal hearts and
