Predictors of rhythm control strategy in patients with paroxysmal
AF
Univariate analysis is showed in the online supplement. On multivariate
analysis, non-emergency centre, management by cardiologist, symptoms
attributable to AF, palpitations, mean HR, hypertension and AF as the
main reason for the hospitalization were independent predictors of
increased use of rhythm control strategy in patients with paroxysmal AF,
whereas heart failure (HF) and mean
CHA2DS2-VASc score value were
independent predictors of decreased likelihood of rhythm control use in
patients with paroxysmal AF, Table 4.
