Abstract

Alterations of heart rhythm are a common clinical event. They can be caused by almost any kind of heart disorder. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm. Prevalence of AF in the general population is 1-2%, and given that AF incidence rate continues to increase it can be predicted that the number of patients will be doubled within the next 50 years. This review provides the most recent diagnostic and treatment methods, including both unique domestic antiarrhythmic drugs and non-drug methods for AF treatment which were developed and implemented in clinical practice at NMRC of Cardiology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
