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.
