This review outlines current non-invasive and invasive strategies for preventing atrial fibrillation, its recurrence, and associated thromboembolic complications like stroke.
Offers clinicians a reference for current AF prevention strategies; leaves open the need for trials validating emerging approaches.
. Google and Google scholar as well as bibliographies of identified articles were reviewed for additional references. In these two manuscripts, we discuss the current strategies available to prevent AF, then compare non-invasive and invasive treatment strategies to diminish AF recurrence. In addition, we examine the pharmacological, percutaneous device and surgical approaches to prevent stroke as well as other types of thromboembolic events.
