Systematic review and cost-effectiveness evaluation of ‘pill-in-the-pocket’ strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation compared to episodic in-hospital treatment or continuous antiarrhythmic drug therapy

Systematic review and cost-effectiveness evaluation of ‘pill-in-the-pocket’ strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation compared to episodic in-hospital treatment or continuous antiarrhythmic drug therapy

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a tachyarrhythmia characterised by unco-ordinated atrial activation with consequent deterioration of impairment of atrial function and a rapid, irregular heartbeat.
