Overview

In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), supraventricular arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation are common. One third of death in patients with atrial fibrillation is due to non-vascular diseases such as respiratory diseases. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) FEV1 could be used as a predictor for atrial fibrillation development. In patients who are experiencing acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), presence of concurrent atrial fibrillation has shown to have worst prognosis. In patients refractory to medications, AV nodal ablation and ventricular pacing may be necessary to control the ventricular rate.
