==Overview==
[[Prevention (medical)|Secondary prevention]] is a necessary step to lower the risk of some [[atrial fibrillation]] related [[Complication (medicine)|complications]], such as [[stroke]], [[transient ischemic attack]] ([[TIA]]), [[bleeding]] and [[hospital|hospitalization]]. For instance, [[dronedarone]] is a [[medication]] that may help to decrease the need for [[hospital|hospitalization]] in [[atrial fibrillation]] [[patients]]. In addition [[alcohol]] abstinence can [[prevention|prevent]] both recurrent [[arrhythmia]] and [[bleeding]] in [[atrial fibrillation]] [[patients]].

*In [[patients]] with [[paroxysmal atrial fibrillation]], a number of [[medications]] are available after conversion of persistent [[atrial fibrillation]] ([[AF]]). [[Dronedarone]] is a [[medication]] that may be used to decrease the need for [[hospital|hospitalization]], and can be started as [[patient|outpatient]] [[therapy]]. It can not be given in [[patients]] with class IV [[heart failure]], decompensated [[heart failure]], or depressed [[ventricle|left ventricular]] function. A [[Artificial pacemaker|permanent pacemaker]] is not recommended in [[patients]] who do not have another indication for placement of a [[pacemaker]]
*[[mouth|Oral]] [[anticoagulation]] use is critical to [[prevention|prevent]] the chance of [[stroke]] and [[transient ischemic attack]] ([[TIA]]) among [[patients]] with [[atrial fibrillation]]. This [[Prevention (medical)|secondary prevention]] is even more important in those who have a history of prior [[stroke]] or [[transient ischemic attack]] ([[TIA]]).<ref name="pmid27586690">{{cite journal| author=Masjuan J, DeFelipe A| title=Secondary prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients: a practical approach with edoxaban. | journal=Int J Neurosci | year= 2017 | volume= 127 | issue= 8 | pages= 716-725 | pmid=27586690 | doi=10.1080/00207454.2016.1232256 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=27586690  }} </ref>

In this trial, the dose was:
** [[Patient]] weighed less than 70 kg:  [[flecainide]] 200 mg or [[propafenone]] was 450 mg
** [[patient]] weighed 70 kg or more: [[flecainide]] 300 mg or [[propafenone]] was 600 mg
*In the trials, the [[medication|drug]] was first tested in a monitored setting: "After administration of the [[medication|drug]], [[sinus rhythm|heart rhythm]] was monitored for at least 8 hours, [[blood pressure]] was measured every 30 minutes with the use of a cuff, and a 12-lead [[electrocardiogram]] was recorded every hour."<ref name="pmid15575054"/>

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Cafer Zorkun, M.D., Ph.D. [2] Anahita Deylamsalehi, M.D.[3]

Overview

Secondary prevention is a necessary step to lower the risk of some atrial fibrillation related complications, such as stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), bleeding and hospitalization. For instance, dronedarone is a medication that may help to decrease the need for hospitalization in atrial fibrillation patients. In addition alcohol abstinence can prevent both recurrent arrhythmia and bleeding in atrial fibrillation patients.

Secondary Prevention

Summary of outcomes for drugs. Data from the Cochrane Collaboration[1]
Class Drug Atrial fibrillation recurrence Mortality
I. Voltage-gated Na+ channel blockers
Ia Quinidine 0.51 (0.40 to 0.64) 2.26 (0.93 to 5.45)
Disopyramide 0.52 (0.27 to 1.01) 7.56 (0.47 to 122.66)
Ic Flecainide 0.31 (0.16 to 0.60) Unestimable as no deaths occurred
Propafenone 0.37 (0.28 to 0.48) 0.05 (0.00 to 1.02)
II. Autonomic inhibitors and activators
IIa Metoprolol 0.62 (0.44 to 0.88) 2.75 (0.39 to 19.6)
III. K+ channel blockers and openers
IIIa Amiodarone 0.19 (0.14 to 027) 1.64 (0.59 to 4.56)
Dronedarone 0.59 (0.46 to 0.75) 0.85 (0.67 to 1.09)
Sotalol 0.51 (0.43 to 0.60) 2.23 (1.10 to 4.50)

"Pill-in-the-pocket" approach

2011 ACCF/AHA/HRS Focused Updates Incorporated Into the 2006 Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (DO NOT EDIT) [6][7]

Preventing Hospitalization Due to Recurrent AF (DO NOT EDIT)[6][7]

Class III (Harm)
"1. Dronedarone should not be administered to patients with Class IV heart failure or patients who have had an episode of decompensated heart failure in the past 4 wks, especially if they have depressed LV function (LV ejection fraction ≤ 35%). (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIa
"1. Dronedarone is reasonable to decrease the need for hospitalization for cardiovascular events in patients with paroxysmal AF or after conversion of persistent AF. Dronedarone can be initiated during outpatient therapy. (Level of Evidence: B)"

Secondary Prevention with Pacing (DO NOT EDIT)[6][7]

Class III
"1. Permanent pacing is not indicated for the prevention of AF in patients without any other indication for pacemaker implantation. (Level of Evidence: B)"

Prevention of Bleeding
