Hindricks G, Potpara T, Dagres N, et al; ESC Scientific Document Group. 2020 ESC guidelines for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation developed in collaboration with the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS): the Task Force for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) developed with the special ...
Executive Summary. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmia types in adults worldwide, with an estimated 2.7–6.1 million people affected in the United States. 1 AF presents as a change in heart rate with an irregular pattern, with symptoms that may worsen/change over time. Symptom presentation can vary among patients ...
Quality standard - Atrial fibrillation. Next. This guideline covers diagnosing and managing atrial fibrillation in adults. It includes guidance on providing the best care and treatment for people with atrial fibrillation, including assessing and managing risks of stroke and bleeding. On 30 June 2021, we amended our recommendation on using the ...
Background: As the global incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases, the importance of implementing GDMT (Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy) for managing AF is being emphasized. Research Questions: Applying guidelines universally across all countries and situations is realistically challenging. Aims: Identifying the appropriate income level for GDMT and highlighting the need for new ...
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.
When to initiate anticoagulation after an ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical question. Some guidelines suggest delayed initiation (typically 10–14 days after stroke onset) to minimize the risk for hemorrhagic transformation. However, the risk for brain hemorrhage is lower with direct oral ...
Clinical risk scores that predict outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have modest predictive value. ... A. et al. Guidelines and quality criteria for artificial intelligence-based ...
Evidence also indicates that people with atrial fibrillation have a 39% increased risk of memory or thinking problems; adults with heart disease have a 27% higher risk of developing dementia; and up to 50% of individuals experience cognitive decline after a heart attack. ... While scientific statements inform the development of guidelines, they ...
Large randomized controlled trials and real-world evidence for patients with atrial fibrillation and VHD has provided excellent evidence supporting the use of direct oral anticoagulants (NOACs). The 2020 AHA/ACC guideline 1 indicates an enhanced preference for NOACs over vitamin K antagonists for multiple indications, except in patients with ...
The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines program was developed to aid clinicians in the management of these complex patients, as well as to provide direction to policy makers and health care systems regarding related issues. The most recent comprehensive CCS AF guidelines update was published in 2010.
