ORLANDO, Florida, November 15 - Results from the RecordAF registry (REgistry on Cardiac rhythm
disORDers assessing the control of Atrial Fibrillation), presented today at
the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, show that in
recently diagnosed and actively treated patients with atrial fibrillation
(AF), a rhythm-control strategy provides better short term control of the
arrhythmia versus a rate-control strategy but does not translate into a
reduction in the occurrence of clinical events at 1 year. RecordAF also
confirmed that these patients suffer from a high rate of clinical events,
mainly cardiovascular (CV) hospitalisations.

maintenance dose of clopidogrel (Plavix(R)). These data were presented today
