Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of guiding as-needed pharmacological rate control of atrial fibrillation AF by implantable cardiac monitors and to assess the impact of continuous beta-blocker therapy versus as-needed rate control on the following outcomes

1 exercise capacity 2 AF burden 3 symptomatic heart failure 4 biomarker assessment of cardiac filling pressures and cardio-metabolic health and 5 quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation and stage II or III heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Detailed Description: Patients 18 years of age with paroxysmal or persistent AF who have an implantable cardiac monitor either loop recorder or pacemaker and who are receiving daily beta-blocker therapy will be screened for meeting the inclusionexclusion criteria

Trial participants will then be randomized into the daily beta-blocker or as-needed pharmacological rate control

At baseline and six months trial participants will undergo assessment of the following measures

Assessment of Quality of life using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire and the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of life Questionnaire
Blood draw
Cardiopulmonary exercise test 6 Minute Walk Test and average daily activity level via integrated accelerometer of the implantable cardiac monitor if available
Assessment of AF burden

Study participants may opt into long-term follow up visits at 12 18 and 24 months

Chart review will continue for up to 4 years after enrollment for the purpose of monitoring clinical endpoints

Heart failure events diuretic drug change emergency room visit hospitalization
AF events hospitalization emergency room visit cardioversion antiarrhythmic medication initiation
Stroke or transient ischemic attack
Myocardial infarction
