Atrial fibrillation and heart failure share many common risk factors, and are often seen together in an individual patient. Each of these conditions alone can cause the development and worsening of the other. In this article, Morrison et al. discuss the clinical and pathological relationships between these two conditions, review current treatment strategies, and propose areas for future research that will help define the optimal therapeutic approach for patients with concurrent atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
