Summary
The article deals with the indications and counterindications of individual accessible antiarythmia in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. It discusses the options for pharmacotherapy in the acute and long-term management of patients, options for a control strategy for an adequate ventricular response and efforts to maintain sinus rhythm.
Keywords
