Overview

Supports echocardiography as standard for AF evaluation; leaves open optimal integration with emerging modalities in prospective studies.

Structured PICO

Population
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)
I
Intervention
Echocardiography (including transthoracic, transesophageal, and intracardiac)

Echocardiography, including TTE, TEE, and ICE, remains a foundational imaging modality for the comprehensive evaluation and management of patients with atrial fibrillation.
