A stroke risk reduction of 69% attributable to warfarin was seen when the data from five studies were combined in the pooled analysis. All analyses represented for individual studies are done on an “intention-to-treat” basis. Note: Strokes represent all strokes regardless of suspected etiology. Transient ischemic attacks, systemic emboli and intracranial hemorrhages are not included. Control represents placebo in all studies except BAATAF where 46% of “control” patients received aspirin and 54% received no treatment. 20
Background: Guidelines recommend warfarin use in patients with atrial fibrillation solely on the basis of risk for ischemic stroke without antithrombotic therapy. These guidelines rely on ischemic stroke rates observed in older trials and do not explicitly account for increased risk for hemorrhage. Objective: To quantify the net clinical benefit of warfarin therapy in a cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation. Design: Mixed retrospective and prospective cohort study of patients with atrial fibrillation between 1996 and 2003. Setting: An integrated health care delivery system. Patients: 13 559 adults with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Measurements: Warfarin exposure, patient characteristics, CHADS2 score (1 point for each of congestive heart failure, hypertension, age, and diabetes and 2 points for stroke), and outcome events were ascertained from health plan records and databases. Net clinical benefit was defined as the annual rate of ischemic strokes and systemic emboli prevented by warfarin minus intracranial hemorrhages attributable to warfarin, multiplied by an impact weight. The base-case impact weight was 1.5, reflecting the greater clinical impact of intracranial hemorrhage versus thromboembolism. Results: Patients accumulated more than 66 000 person-years of follow-up. The adjusted net clinical benefit of warfarin for the cohort overall was 0.68% per year (95% CI, 0.34% to 0.87%). Adjusted net clinical benefit was greatest for patients with a history of ischemic stroke (2.48% per year [CI, 0.75% to 4.22%]) and for those 85 years or older (2.34% per year [CI, 1.29% to 3.30%]). The net clinical benefit of warfarin increased from essentially zero in CHADS2 stroke risk categories 0 and 1 to 2.22% per year (CI, 0.58% to 3.75%) in CHADS2 categories 4 to 6. The patterns of results were preserved when weighting factors for intracranial hemorrhage of 1.0 and 2.0 were used. Limitations: Residual confounding is a possibility. Some outcome events were probably missed by the screening algorithm or when medical records were unavailable. Conclusion: Expected net clinical benefit of warfarin therapy is highest among patients with the highest untreated risk for stroke, which includes the oldest age category. Risk assessment that incorporates both risk for thromboembolism and risk for intracranial hemorrhage provides a more quantitatively informed basis for the decision on antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation.

And in pts with chronic atrial fibrillation, As you can see, the overall efficacy of these medications in terms of maintaining sinus rhythm at 6 months range between 40-60%. I tell all my patients who I start on AAD that AF is going to come back. (Define AAD failure).
Not only that , but the potential negative side effects result in a relatively high discontinuation rate. If you look at this for example you see that amiodarone has a relatively high discontinuation rate, almost 20% at 6 months stop taking it, mostly because of its extracardiac side effects. It can affect the thyroid, the liver, the lung, the skin , the eyes and the CNS. This is why we tend to avoid it in young patients unless you want them to end up as blue cretins, wheeezing and limping but in NSR.
And some of the side effects are actually serioutransform AF into AFs and fatal. Such as what you see with the use of class 3 AAD such as sotalol or dofetilide. Similarly, patients with structural heart disease cannot be treated with class I antiarrhythmic such as flecainide or propafenone because of the risk of proarrhtyhmia such as VF. Even in patients with no structural heart disease, class IC drug can transform atrial fibrillation into AFl which is slow enough to conduct 1:1 to the V and result into a WCT that resembles VT and can actually degenerate into VF.
This has changed significantly our understanding of atrial fibrillation. Indeed the natural history of AF is to procced from intermittent self terminating episodes episodes of AF to a more persistent form requiring frequent DC cardioversions over time to finally telling the patient that there is not much that we can do about it and that they have to spend the rest of their lives in AF. And we know why this happens And there is a good reason for this to happen. With more atrial fibrillation, there is a change in the electrophysiologic environment of the atria, or atrial remodeling which occur which favors reentry. So, our understanding of atrial fibrillation has changed. We havetriggers,which are rapid firing recorded within the PV that propagagte tto the atrium. If the electrophysiologic environment in the atrium is suitable for sustaining AF, what is commonly known as F conduction, the AF persists, if not then AF terminates or never starts. This is what happens initially we have paroxysms of AF: it strats/ stops because the substrate is not ready for AF yet. But with more and more paroxysms and with some modulating factors, Athere are changes in the EP properties of the atria which favor reentry and tend to be more inviting for sustaining AF. What triggers PV firing? We do not know: is it automaticity, EAD with TDP like phenomenon in the atria, is it only one impulse with circual conduction that is rapid or leakage from the rapid firing of the SM cells in the wall of the veins: we do not know yet. that start off AF. and a or which start of AF and it is up to the atrial substarte to mintain AF or not. a substarate. initiators, perpetuators and underlying substarte. What is responsible for the firing within the PV? For some reason some people have a substrate for triggers which cause the rapid firing seen in the PV ’s. Initially this is usually paroxismal in nature. The atrial substarte is not mature for AF to settle in yet.It is like trying to start a car in a cold wheather you try many times but it doesn’t start. With time atrial remodeling occurs and with the help of other factors such as …, the atrial substrate becomes more inviting for permanent atrial fibrillation. And there might be some erpetuators in the meantime such as intermittent ongoing PV activity which tends to cause ongoing AF.
