Education: Clinical
Education – Clinical: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s SHARE Approach is a five-step process for shared decision-making that includes exploring and comparing the benefits, harms, and risks of each option through meaningful dialogue about what matters most to the patient.
Education – Clinical: Join esteemed moderators and panelists to learn about a multidisciplinary approach to atrial fibrillation (AFib), different facets of AFib treatment, and the shift to early rhythm control for AFib management. Supported by Sanofi and Biosense Webster, these three complimentary webinars each contain thoughtful presentations, recorded Q&As with a panel of experts, and full transcripts. In this episode, Jason G. Andrade, MD, FHRS, T. Jared Bunch, MD, FHRS, Mina K. Chung, MD, FHRS, Thomas Deering, MD, MBA, FHRS, CCDS, Andrea Natale, MD, FHRS, and Jonathan P. Piccini, Sr., MD, MHS, FHRS, discuss clinical outcomes of EAST-AFNET 4 relating to mortality, stroke, and readmission, describe an ideal timeline for implementing rhythm control protocol, and join in a panel discussion with Andrea M. Russo, MD, FHRS.

Supported by Sanofi and Biosense Webster, these three complimentary webinars each contain thoughtful presentations, recorded Q&As with a panel of experts, and full transcripts. AFib patients can be seen and treated at multiple points in the healthcare system. In this episode, Thomas Deering, MD, MBA, FHRS, Thomas Deneke, MD, PhD, FHRS, Gerhard Hindricks, MD, Kathleen Kenny, MD, Nassir F. Marrouche, MD, FHRS, and Prashanthan Sanders, MBBS, PhD, FHRS, explore a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating AFib in a primary care or emergency medicine setting. This activity covers rhythm control options and includes a Q&A moderated by Andrea M. Russo, MD, FHRS.

Supported by Sanofi and Biosense Webster, these three complimentary webinars each contain thoughtful presentations, recorded Q&As with a panel of experts, and full transcripts. In this episode, Luigi Di Biase, MD, PhD, FHRS, addresses the best rhythm control strategies for early intervention in AF patients, including new technologies to potentially improve ablation outcome, identifying patients most suitable for LAA occlusion, and how lifestyle changes impact the AF disease course. Additional presentations and a Q&A-based discussion are also included with John Allison, MD, Devi G. Nair, MD, FHRS, Sanghamitra Mohanty, MBBS, MD, MS, FHRS, and Andrea Natale, MD, FHRS.
Education – Clinical: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety. This is an evidence-based set of teamwork tools, aimed at optimizing patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among healthcare teams, including patients and family caregivers. Program includes welcome guides, curriculum materials, a diagnosis improvement course, patient videos, measurement tools, and training simulation tools.
Education – Clinical: Education, training, implementation tools, and research related to shared decision making from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Education – Clinical: Calculates stroke risk for patients with atrial fibrillation, possibly better than the CHADS₂ Score.
Guidelines/Clinical Documents: 2021 Position paper from the European Heart Rhythm Association to serve as a guide for providers when using Non-Vitamin K Antagonist OACs in AFib patients. Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.
