    Author: Le Heuzey JY, Otmani A, Marijon E, Waintraub X, Lepillier A, Chachoua K, Lavergne T, Pornin M.
    Journal: Presse Med; 2008 May; 37(5 Pt 2):821-6. PubMed ID: 18258408.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases rapidly with population age. Atrial fibrillation essentially presents a problem of long-term management. Strategies of rhythm or rate control should be considered on a case-by-case basis for each individual. Anticoagulation treatment is indicated in most cases. Radiofrequency ablation by pulmonary vein isolation is an unquestionably innovative treatment but is reserved for selected patients.
