a-fib normally irregularly irregulary
a-fib w/complete block has normal rhythm because AVnode takes ove and rhythm is junctional
Afib types
Paroxysmal
Non-paroxysmal
Persistent
Permanent
Atrial remodeling is
Cellular - interstitial fibrosis (increased ACE and TGFbeta)
Molecular remodeling - ^HR --> ^Ca concentration --> increased Ca channel formation --> decreased contractile strength --> atrial dilation and fib...
A-fib and decompensation must cardiovert!
Rate vs rhythm control no difference in outcomes, women
