Atrial Fibrillation is becoming a twenty-first century epidemic. It
remains the most common form of sustained arrhythmia with
significant mortality, morbidity and cost to the health care
system. It is the most common cause of hospital admissions among
all arrhythmias. Its prevalence increases with the aging population
and is often associated with many other cardiac and noncardiac
conditions, most notably congestive heart failure, hypertension,
diabetes, and coronary artery disease. Although significant
progress in understanding the epidemiology, natural history and
mechanism has been made, the antiarrhythmic therapy in patients
with Atrial Fibrillation is less satisfactory.
