Overview

Atrial Fibrillation and Pulmonary Diseases

2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (DO NOT EDIT)[11]

Pulmonary Disease

Class I
"1. A nondihydropyridine calcium antagonist is recommended to control the ventricular rate in patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. Direct-current cardioversion should be attempted in patients with pulmonary disease who become hemodynamically unstable as a consequence of new onset atrial fibrillation. (Level of Evidence: C)"

2011 ACCF/AHA/HRS Focused Updates Incorporated Into the ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (DO NOT EDIT)[12]

Pulmonary Diseases (DO NOT EDIT) [12]

Class I
"1. Correction of hypoxemia and acidosis is the recommended primary therapeutic measure for patients who develop atrial fibrillation during an acute pulmonary illness or exacerbation of chronic pulmonary disease. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. A non dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist (diltiazem or verapamil) is recommended to control the ventricular rate in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease who develop atrial fibrillation. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"3. Direct-current cardioversion should be attempted in patients with pulmonary disease who become hemodynamically unstable as a consequence of atrial fibrillation. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class III (Harm)
"1. Theophylline and beta-adrenergic agonist agents are not recommended in patients with bronchospastic lung disease who develop atrial fibrillation. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. Beta blockers, sotalol, propafenone, and adenosine are not recommended in patients with obstructive lung disease who develop atrial fibrillation. (Level of Evidence: C)"
