Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is an extremely common form of atrial fibrillation seen by most physicians. Despite making up more than 40% of the cases of atrial fibrillation, its management continues to be neglected in the medical literature. Many of the recent large-scale prospective trials have excluded these patients. Limited data suggest that paroxysmal atrial fibrillation should be treated in a similar fashion as chronic atrial fibrillation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
