Correction
In the article by Fuster et al, "ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 Guidelines
for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: 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:e257–e354),
the following corrections are needed to Table 23, page e309:
- 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.
