8 But I have noticed, that after the heart proper, and even the right auricle were ceasing to beat and appeared on the point of death, an obscure movement, undulation/palpitation had clearly continued in the right auricular blood itself for as long as the blood was perceptibly imbued with warmth and spirit.

39 A Case from Our Host 70yo woman AF CAD, EF 40% Chronic liver disease, s/p therapy for Hep C Never anticoagulated Symptomatic with dyspnea

40 Considerations CVA risk reduction CHADS VASC score of 4 (at least) Possible liver dysfunction, risk of GIB, coagulopathy Suggest trial of NOAC or warfarin LAA occlusion if GIB or other issues prevent anticoagulation, given moderate/high risk of CVA Rate v. rhythm control Dependent on: Symptoms LA size Type of AF (PAF v. persistent) Duration of continuous AF Contraindications to Amiodarone (if liver dysfunction an issue) Flecainide (ischemic CMP) Multaq (EF reduced, with CHF symptoms) Possible use of Sotalol or Tikosyn Consideration of ablation

41 Summary AF is a common and increasing problem Central questions include: CVA risk reduction Rate versus rhythm control Novel developments include New oral anticoagulants LAA occlusion devices Improved ablation modalities Ongoing challenges include: Improving ablation outcomes, particularly for persistent AF; early intervention Understanding different types of AF, and how to treat accordingly
