Management of atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure.

abstract：AIMS:Pericardial effusion (PE) is a common finding in cardiac patients with chronic heart failure. The prognostic relevance of a small, haemodynamically non-compromising PE in such patients, however, remains to be determined. METHODS AND RESULTS:All patients referred to our heart failure clinic and having a baseline e...
