Abstract

Introduction:
Rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with arterial hypertension (AH) remains complicated, attributed to pathogenetic link between both diseases. Indirect antiarrhythmic effects of medications not primarily recognized as sinus rhythm maintaining drugs, referred to as upstream therapies,
including blood pressure-lowering agents, receive pathogenetically justified increasing attention. Nevertheless, studies demonstrate diverse success.
