Video Summary
John Bacini, a Cardiac Clinical Physiologist at Duke, discusses the practical approaches to treating early atrial fibrillation with anti-rhythmic drug therapy. He presents a case of a 72-year-old man with persistent atrial fibrillation post-pulmonary embolism and highlights the importance of early rhythm control in improving outcomes. Bacini emphasizes individualized treatment based on comorbidities and structural heart disease presence, cautioning against using amiodarone as a first-line agent due to potential adverse effects. He also addresses the timing of ablation and the importance of providing high-quality rhythm control for patients. Overall, early rhythm control is shown to enhance outcomes in atrial fibrillation management.
