The authors, after analyzing the causes of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its incidence, provide some recommendations in order to get the restoration of sinus rhythm or the control of heart rate and to contain the risk of thromboembolism. In order to do this, they select 14 patients and examine them through clinical and laboratory tests in order to frame the nature of AF, drug treatment and the risk of thromboembolism. In 12 patients with permanent AF out of the 14 patients considered, the authors have just checked the heart rate, while in 2, affected by new-onset forms of AF, they have proceeded to the pharmacological conversion of rhythm and its sinus maintenance.

Abstract
The authors, after analyzing the causes of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its incidence, provide some recommendations in order to get the restoration of sinus rhythm or the control of heart rate and to contain the risk of thromboembolism. In order to do this, they select 14 patients and examine them through clinical and laboratory tests in order to frame the nature of AF, drug treatment and the risk of thromboembolism. In 12 patients with permanent AF out of the 14 patients considered, the authors have just checked the heart rate, while in 2, affected by new-onset forms of AF, they have proceeded to the pharmacological conversion of rhythm and its sinus maintenance.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
