on Atrial Fibrillation

 

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac conditions encountered by primary care physicians and general cardiologists. This condition puts the patient at significant risk for major morbidity and potential disability and creates a significant burden on the healthcare system. An integrative approach treating comorbidities and risk factors for atrial fibrillation, along with addressing the condition itself and its thromboembolic potential, is key to achieving optimal care. The new ESC Guidelines, based on robust data, provide useful treatment pathways to allow the streamlined care of patients with atrial fibrillation.

The content below was selected by Ronen Beeri, Emma Svennberg, Renate Schnabel and Michiel Rienstra to help you delve into the various aspects of atrial fibrillation.
