World Heart Rhythm Week - 3-9 June 2024

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common recurrent arrhythmia in adults, occurring at a rate of 2-4% of the population. It is managed by GPs at a rate of 1.3 per 100 encounters. AF is independently associated with stroke, heart failure and all-cause death. As our population ages, AF is becoming more common with increasing morbidity and mortality. The management of AF has changed over the last few years with the introduction of NOACs and updated decision support rules and guidelines.
