In addition, the most effective medication is less than 50% effective, and stops working over time. It also varies depending on whether you're in afib all the time or whether you go in and out of it. Therefore, finding the right medication can often be an experiment between doctor and patient. There are two major approaches, rate control and rhythm control. Learn more about them here: * Rate: http://www.stopafib.org/rate-control.cfm * Rhythm: http://www.stopafib.org/rhythm-control.cfm * Which is Better, Rate Control or Rhythm Control: http://www.stopafib.org/newsitem.cfm/NEWSID/216 Hope this helps.
