Conclusion

Over the 10-year period there was a dramatic increase in the use of beta-blockers in Danish atrial fibrillation patients at the expense of digoxin, nondihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers, and sotalol. In fact, sotalol, the second most used drug in 1995-1996, is rarely used nowadays, while amiodarone and class 1C antiarrhythmics still play a very modest role. Use of oral anticoagulants has increased considerably, but there is a persistent underuse of anticoagulation treatment in the elderly and in women with atrial fibrillation.
