Treatment of atrial fibrillation. Recommendations from a workshop arranged by the Medical Products Agency (Uppsala, Sweden) and the Swedish Society of Cardiology.
Atrial fibrillation may be paroxysmal or chronic. The paroxysmal form presents in the form of attacks of short duration but may last for up to 3-4 days. Episodes of atrial fibrillation of longer duration are considered as chronic. The diagnosis is made by ECG.
