AF CoE Playbook – Figure 7.6 Rate control strategy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

This figure/table is drawn from the Atrial Fibrillation Center of Excellence (AF CoE) Playbook, a comprehensive resource developed to guide healthcare teams in implementing best practices for atrial fibrillation (AF) care. Each visual highlights key concepts, frameworks, or strategies aimed at improving the diagnosis, management, and outcomes for patients with AF. Together, these visuals are intended to support education, enhance clinical workflows, and promote standardized, high-quality AF care across diverse healthcare settings.

AF = atrial fibrillation; AFCOE = Atrial Fibrillation Center of Excellence; AFEQT = Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality-of-Life questionnaire; BB = beta blocker; BP =
blood pressure; bpm = beats per minute; DHP CCB = dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker; EF = ejection fraction; HF = heart failure; HR = heart rate; q2weeks
= once every 2 weeks; q3-6months = once every 3–6 months; SBP = systolic blood pressure; XL = extra long.
