A member asked:
If rate control in af is effective will that make damage to the heart unlikely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Effective control of AF will reduce strain on the heart and decrease the risk for heart failure . The cause of AF should be addressed as well as effective treatment to control heart rate at rest and during exercise.
