The use of a rhythm control strategy, a rate control strategy, and no medications in AF patients by calendar year in CARAF I and II. AF = atrial fibrillation; CARAF = Canadian Registry of Atrial Fibrillation.

3. Figure 2
The use of a rhythm control strategy, a rate control strategy, and no medications in AF patients from enrolment through to the end of study follow-up (10 years for CARAF I and 5 years for CARAF II). In both CARAF I and CARAF II, the prevalence of chronic AF increased over the duration of follow-up. Mirroring this increase in AF was a steady decline in AAD use. AAD = antiarrhythmic drug; AF = atrial fibrillation; CARAF = Canadian Registry of Atrial Fibrillation.

AAD use in AF patients by calendar year in CARAF I and II. AAD = antiarrhythmic drug; AF = atrial fibrillation; CARAF = Canadian Registry of Atrial Fibrillation.

Rate control medication use in AF patients by calendar year in CARAF I and II. AF = atrial fibrillation; BB= beta-blocker; CARAF = Canadian Registry of Atrial Fibrillation; CCB = nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.

6. Figure 5
Usage of medications to control ventricular rate in patients receiving a rate control strategy (A) and a rhythm control strategy (B). AAD = antiarrhythmic drug; AF = atrial fibrillation; BB = beta-blocker; CARAF = Canadian Registry of Atrial Fibrillation; CCB = nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker; Dig = digoxin.
