Core Tip	Atrial fibrillation commonly coexists with heart failure and there is growing evidence that it confers an adverse prognostic impact on the natural course of the disease. This review analyses the demographics and relevant literature highlighting this impact as well as the effect of various therapeutic modalities in improving outcomes. Finally some of the future trends in this exciting cardiovascular discipline are discussed.
