Why the study?
The Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society previously lacked comprehensive guidelines dedicated to atrial fibrillation management that integrate contemporary global evidence with data and clinical considerations specific to the Asia-Pacific region.
Provides the first comprehensive Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) evidence-based and practical recommendations for clinical epidemiology, detection/screening, and holistic or integrated care management of atrial fibrillation specific to the Asia-Pacific region.

May inform region-specific AF protocols in Asia-Pacific; extends global evidence with tailored screening and care frameworks.
The 2026 Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) Guidelines represent the first comprehensive APHRS guidelines dedicated to the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) and comprise four parts covering epidemiology, detection/screening and integrated care; stroke prevention; rate and rhythm control; and lifestyle risk factor and comorbidity management. Part 1 focuses on epidemiology and integrated care management, integrating contemporary global evidence with data and clinical considerations specific to the Asia‐Pacific region. It provides evidence‐based and practical recommendations for clinical epidemiology in the region, as well as introduces the need for holistic or integrated care management.

Joung et al. (2026) studied Atrial fibrillation. Integrated patient care, detection, and screening recommendations was evaluated. The 2026 APHRS Guidelines (Part 1) provide evidence-based recommendations for atrial fibrillation epidemiology, detection, screening, and integrated care in the Asia-Pacific region.
