Correction
In the article by Fuster et al, "ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 Guidelines
for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation—Executive
Summary: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American
Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines and the
European Society of Cardiology Committee for Practice Guidelines
(Writing Committee to Revise the 2001 Guidelines for the Management
of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation)," which appeared in the
August 15, 2006, issue of the journal (
Circulation. 2006;114:700–752),
the following corrections are needed to Table 18, page 733:
- This table should be retitled to "Pharmacological Treatment Before Cardioversion in Patients With Persistent AF: Effects of Various Antiarrhythimic Drugs on Immediate Recurrence, Outcome of Transthoracic Direct-Current Shock, or Both"
- Quinidine should be deleted from the table (Enhance Conversion by DC Shock and Prevent IRAF* column).
- The authors prefer that the third column be transposed to the fifth column.
- The recommendation class for the treatments with known efficacy (row 1, column 3) is IIa rather than I.
These errors have been corrected in the current online version of the article.
