Abstract
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia in old age. As a result of the positive data on ablation, the focus has shifted to rhythm control. Older adults can also benefit from catheter ablation. Oral anticoagulation remains an essential part of the pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation. Recent study results show that geriatric patients require an individual treatment approach, which should be based on the recommendations of the current guidelines and the use of supplementary aids. The assessment of functionality should be taken into account in the treatment and the treatment goal planning as well as symptoms associated with atrial fibrillation. In acute situations cardioversion and long-term drug or interventional (catheter ablation) rhythm-stabilizing treatment are available for rhythm control.
