Outpatient Treatment of Recent-Onset Atrial Fibrillation with the “Pill-in-the-Pocket” Approach

Abstract

In a selected, risk-stratified population of patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation, pill-in-the-pocket treatment is feasible and safe, with a high rate of compliance by patients, a low rate of adverse events, and a marked reduction in emergency room visits and hospital admissions.
