What to do about ectopic rhythms in atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation ectopic rhythm can be given to transrhythmic therapy, control the ventricular rate combined with anticoagulation, some patients can be surgical treatment. 1. Transrhythmic therapy: patients with acute atrial fibrillation should be given transrhythmic therapy to restore sinus rhythm, which can ensure the effective ejection of blood from the heart, and commonly used drugs include amiodarone, propafenone, and so on. 2. Ventricular rate control combined with anticoagulation: for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, it may not be possible to restore sinus rhythm, can be given to control the ventricular rate of drug therapy, such as metoprolol, and at the same time give anticoagulation therapy, commonly used drugs such as rivaroxaban. 3. Surgical treatment: For patients who are unable to take oral medication, or are unwilling to take oral medication, radiofrequency ablation can be performed. Patients with atrial fibrillation should assess their condition under the guidance of a physician and choose the appropriate treatment.
