Current Issues in Atrial Fibrillation

الملخص EN

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia.

It places an enormous burden on the patients, caregivers, and the society at large.

While the main themes in the care of an AF patient have not changed over the years and continue to focus on stroke prevention, control of the ventricular, rate and rhythm maintenance, there have been a number of new developments in each of these realms.

This paper will discuss the “hot” topics in AF in 2012 including new and upcoming medical and invasive management strategies for this condition.
