Atrial node ablation combined with permanent pacemaker implantation in patients with atrial fibrillation can stabilize the ventricular rate.
In patients with rapid and symptomatic ventricular rates, AV node ablation combined with permanent pacemaker implantation can be given to control the ventricular rate if medications are not effective and rhythm control strategies are not appropriate.
Standardized treatment should be given in the case of atrial fibrillation to avoid exacerbation of the condition.
