The Health Professional's Role in Improving Atrial Fibrillation Management

Trending3.5(New)

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac rhythm disorders worldwide and is strongly associated with stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality. Effective management requires early detection, appropriate anticoagulation, and continuous monitoring to prevent complications. Healthcare professionals play a central role in identifying at-risk patients, initiating treatment, and ensuring long-term adherence. This course explores the responsibilities of healthcare professionals in improving AF outcomes through evidence-based practices. It focuses on risk assessment, diagnosis, anticoagulation strategies, and patient-centered care aligned with modern frameworks such as AF-CARE (Comorbidities, Avoid stroke, Rate/Rhythm control, Evaluation).
