Top 5 Non-CHF Management PearlsOHSU
Here are the top 5…
1. HAS-BLED score (NOT-USEFUL)
2. Friends don’t let friends rate control typical atrial flutter
3. Rate control is NOT the same as rhythm control
4. The fourth pillar of atrial fibrillation management
5. Bacteria and devices: an unfortunate friendshipOHSU
#1: HAS-BLED Score

Pearl #1 Summary
• Strokes are bad!• AF related strokes are worse
• Anticoagulation is good
• HAS-BLED is a HAS-BEEN, or a NEVER-WASOHSU
#2: Typical Flutter
OHSU
OHSU
OHSU
OHSU
OHSU
#2: Typical flutter
• Very hard to rate control
• Very easy to cardiovert
• Almost as easy to ablate• 97% Success rate*
• Anticoagulation considerations are near identical to atrial fibrillation
*Spector P et al. Am J Card 2009
OHSU
#3: Rate Control v Rhythm Control
OHSU
An aside…
• The decision to anticoagulate is separate from the decision to pursue a rate or rhythm control strategy
• Think of both the AF and the thromboembolic risk as markers of a diseased atriumOHSU
OHSU
Rhythm control
• Symptomatic benefit!
• AF associated with development of heart failure, dementia, etc• Though I can’t say rhythm control reverses that risk
• Not everyone needs rhythm control• But everyone deserves consideration of rhythm controlOHSU
#4: Risk Factor Modification and AF
Rate Control
Rhythm Control
Anti-Coagulation
RiskFactor
Modification
Miller JD et al. JACC 2016.
OHSU
Obesity
• Known risk factor for developing AF
• Increased left atrial size
• Increased epicardial and pericardial fat
• Chronic systemic inflammationOHSU
ARREST-AF. Pathak R et al. JACC 2014.
OHSU
LEGACY-AF. Pathak R et al. JACC 2015.
OHSU
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
• Stronger association with AF than:-BMI-HTN-DM
• During apneic episodes, fluctuations in:-Blood pressure-Sympathetic tone

Arrhythmia ManagementAnti-arrhythmic medication, cardioversion, and ablation management
Stroke PreventionInter-professional anticoagulant monitoring, Left atrial appendage occlusion devices (Watchman and Lariat)
Risk Factor ModificationInter-professional approach to manage OSA, DM, HTN, smoking cessation, diet, & exercise

#5: Device Infections
OHSU
some situations are obvious…
OHSU
Kusumoto. 2017 HRS Lead Extraction Guidelines
OHSU
Bacteremia and devices (teaching points)
• Should initiate ID and cardiology/electrophysiology consults
• Staph in blood usually means device removal
• Earlier device removal is better
• Often cultures won’t clear until the device is removedOHSU
Summary
1. HAS-BLED• DON’T-USE
2. Typical atrial flutter• Has a curative procedure• Difficult to rate control
3. Rhythm control for AF• Won’t make you liver longer• Improves symptoms
4. Risk factor modification for AF• OSA, obesity, and exercise
5. Pacemaker/ICD infections• Often can’t treat bacteremia without removing the device• Early referral is essential
