Currently, β-blockers are used most frequently for the purpose of heart rate (HR) control in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in worldwide. Carvedilol is one of common β-blockers and known to be effective for hypertension and heart failure. However, little can be found the information about the HR-lowering effect of carvedilol in patients with AF without heart failure. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate the effect of carvedilol on HR in 3-minute electrocardiogram (ECG) and total heart beats (THBs) in 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring in patients with persistent or permanent AF.
