Key result
Current approaches in atrial fibrillation management emphasize individualized rate or rhythm control and the increasing role of novel oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention based on updated guidelines.
This review summarizes recent updates to American and European guidelines regarding rhythm control, rate control, and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation.
May guide AF care per recent guidelines; leaves open validation in diverse real-world populations.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Its incidence increases with age. AF is classified into subtypes according to the duration and/or able to provide sinus rhytym. İnitially, patients should be evaluated for rhythm or rate control for appropriate treatment. Second stage of strategy aimed to investigate the feasibility of anticoagulation therapy. Recently, due to the progress made in treatment with rhythm control and anticoagulation therapy, either American or European guidelines have been renovated. These developments have taken place in the newly published guide. In this article, the current change in the management of AF is discussed.
