Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Efficacy of the four cornerstone HFrEF therapies in patients with concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) requires further prospective investigation

  2. AF-specific challenges (arrhythmia-induced remodelling and cardiomyopathy) necessitate more individually tailored treatment

  3. Dedicated clinical trials needed assessing heart failure (HF) therapies in AF subgroups (paroxysmal, long-standing persistent, permanent AF) and the benefit of heart rate and rhythm control strategies
