Pacing Therapy for Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation
Nonpharmacological therapy is being evaluated for the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF). Pacing has been proposed as a one of the option to prevent AF. In patients with bradycardia and requiring pacemaker, physiological pacing such as dual chamber pacing or atrial pacing has an advantage agains...
