Atrial
fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically significant
arrhythmia and is considered an epidemic of cardiovascular diseases
in the 21st century.
AF is associated with increased morbidity
and mortality, resulting in a high burden on the healthcare system. Timely
detection of AF combined with appropriate intervention offers the opportunity to
limit AF-related complications.
In this e-learning, you will learn what Atrial fibrillation (AF) is, how to recognize this arrhythmia, what consequences it has for health, why timely detection and prevention are important, and what role lifestyle and risk factors play in its prevention.
What will you learn?
Epidemiology and incidence of atrial fibrillation
Screening strategies and health risks
Etiology: metabolic, lifestyle, and cardiac factors
Classification and forms of atrial fibrillation
Pathophysiology and mechanisms that sustain AF
Treatment, anticoagulation, and risk factor management
