文摘

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with a substantial effect on individual morbidity and mortality as well as healthcare expenditure. The management of AF is complex and fraught with many uncertain and contentious issues. We have seen substantial progress in AF management in the last two decades including better understanding of the epidemiology, genomics, monitoring, drug and non-pharmacological treatment of the arrhythmia, its complications and stroke risk reduction. In this review, we present a comprehensive discussion on AF with emphasis on most recent updates.
