There's not much significance, really.
Are you taking any sort of beta blocker or calcium channel blocker? If so, that suppresses your rate.

How long are your episodes? If they are hours or several days, then not a big deal. If weeks and >100 BPM, then rate control would be indicated.

Interesting explanation. I can certainly vouch for a lower level of symptoms these days now that my Afib rate is much lower. I could barely walk when I had Afib with RVR. Thanks for that commentary.Quote
The Anti-Fib
The lower you HR is (down to to what your normal NSR HR is) the better and more efficiently the Afib Heart will operate.
Symptoms are usually proportional to how high the Afib HR is
