Résumé

OBJECTIVES: To describe the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to study consistency with guidelines on management of AF. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Observational study on a random sample of cardiologists from a French national database. Each cardiologist had to recruit the first five patients meeting inclusion criteria (patients diagnosed with AF between January 2004 and one month before inclusion and accepting the collection of their medical data). RESULTS: Between December 2006 and January 2207, 1789 patients aged 71 on average have been recruited by 481 cardiologists. Fifty-one percent were diagnosed with paroxysmal, 15% with persistent and 33% with permanent AF. Restoration of sinus rhythm was preferred in forms considered as paroxysmal or persistent forms whereas control of the ventricular rate was more frequent in AF considered as permanent. Overall, therapeutic guidelines are applied in practice, despite a frequent use of amiodarone in patients with no associated heart disease. Prevention of thromboembolism was observed in 88% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: FACTUEL is the biggest observational study on AF ever conducted in France. The therapeutic strategies used by the cardiologists are consistent with the objectives of preventing thromboembolism and controlling heart rhythm and/or rate. In most cases, the treatment used is consistent with the therapeutic guidelines.
