入选标准

  • 1. Adult patients aged 60 years or older
  • 2. Permanent AF, characterised (at time of randomisation) as a physician decision for rate-control with no plans for cardioversion, anti-arrhythmic medication, or ablation therapy
  • 3. Symptoms of breathlessness (New York Heart Association Class II or more)
  • 4. Able to provide written informed consent

排除标准

  • Current exclusion criteria as of 22/06/2018:
  • 1. Established clinical indication for beta-blocker therapy, e.g. myocardial infarction in the last 6 months
  • 2. Known contraindications for therapy with beta-blockers or digoxin, e.g. a history of severe bronchospasm that would preclude use of beta-blockers, or known intolerance to these medications
  • 3. Baseline heart rate history of atrioventricular node ablation
  • 4. History of second or third-degree heart block
  • 5. Supraventricular arrhythmias associated with accessory conducting pathways (e.g. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) or a history of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation
  • 6. Decompensated heart failure (evidenced by need for intravenous inotropes, vasodilators or diuretics) within 14 days prior to randomisation
  • 7. A current diagnosis of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocarditis or constrictive pericarditis
  • 8. Received or on waiting list for heart transplantation
  • 9. Receiving renal replacement therapy
  • 10. Major surgery, including thoracic or cardiac surgery, within 3 months of randomisation
  • 11. Severe, concomitant non-cardiovascular disease (including malignancy) that is expected to reduce life expectancy
  • Previous exclusion criteria:
  • 1. Established clinical indication for beta-blocker therapy, e.g. myocardial infarction in the last 6 months
  • 2. Known contraindications for therapy with beta-blockers or digoxin, e.g. a history of severe bronchospasm that would preclude use of beta-blockers, or known intolerance to these medications
  • 3. Baseline heart rate history of atrioventricular node ablation
  • 4. Decompensated heart failure (evidenced by need for intravenous inotropes, vasodilators or diuretics) within 14 days prior to randomisation
