Description
Yan-bo Wang and co-authors ask how low the resting heart rate should be kept in patients who have both atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease. Their study, from two thousand twenty-four, notes that current guidance sets the rate below one hundred to one hundred ten beats per minute. Yet little work had looked at this paired group on its own.
The team went back to data from a large trial of rhythm care for atrial fibrillation. Of the patients in that trial, one thousand five hundred twenty-two had both health problems. This group had more past smoking, high blood pressure, and heart failure than those with fibrillation alone. The authors weigh the main drug and care choices for rate control in light of that added risk.
