Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Colchicine may have deteriorated the quality of life of patients in the colchicine group, despite the potential benefit of reducing the arrhythmia burden. [...]it seems reasonable to predict that longer periods under colchicine will show similar rates of secondary effects, which makes it necessary to include a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire in future trials assessing the role of colchicine over longer periods of follow-up.
