Read MoreEducation – 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. 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.
Read MoreShared Decision-Making: Video demonstrations to support in-person conversations between clinicians and their AFib patients. Includes explanation of normal rhythm vs. AFib, stroke risk, blood thinners, and the WATCHMAN device.
Read MoreEducation – Clinical: Calculates stroke risk for patients with atrial fibrillation, possibly better than the CHADS₂ Score.
Read MoreGuidelines/Clinical Documents: Guidelines from CCS to inform best practices for clinicians across all disciplines while treating AFib patients. This document should be an important aid for knowledge translation and a tool to help improve clinical management of this important and challenging arrhythmia.
Read MoreGuidelines/Clinical Documents: Guidelines document outlining best practices for oral anticoagulation in patients with nonvalvular AFib and a CHA2DS2-VASc Score of 1.
Read MoreGuidelines/Clinical Documents: To review the evidence and provide clinical recommendations for the pharmacologic management of atrial fibrillation. Methods: This guideline is based on two systematic reviews of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and prospective and retrospective observational studies from 2000 to 2012. An updated literature search was performed to identify new studies from 2012 to December 31, 2015. The targeted audience for the guideline includes all primary care clinicians, and the targeted patient population includes adults who have nonvalvular atrial fibrillation that is not due to a reversible cause. This guideline was developed using a modified version of GRADE to evaluate the quality of the evidence and make recommendations based on the balance of benefits and harms.
