The RealiseAF (Real-life global survey evaluating patients with Atrial Fibrillation) registry show that control of atrial fibrillation (AF) (defined by the 2006 ACC/AHA/ESC AF guidelines as either sinus rhythm or AF with heart rate at rest less than or equal 80 bpm)1 was not achieved in more than 40 percent of the AF patients included in this 10,000 patient cross-sectional registry, as presented today during the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition, the registry revealed that a majority of patients complain of symptoms, even when AF is controlled 2 (55.7 percent).

The RealiseAF registry will help to better define and understand the cardiovascular risk profile of AF patients and characterize their cardiovascular outcomes.
