LEARNING OBJECTIVES


  • To provide an update of the 2020 ESC Guidelines on Atrial Fibrillation.
  • To provide updates on the management of AF patients with renal impairment and diabetes in the context of MACE & MALE.
  • To provide updates on the management of AF patients with CAD.

Atrial fibrillation-related strokes are preventable. The European Society of Cardiology recently updated the AF Guidelines in 2020, with highlight on a comprehensive approach in the management of AF, including comorbidities. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and coronary artery disease (CAD) are common comorbidities in patients with AF. With the advent of Direct oral antagonists (DOACs), clinicians are now better equipped to manage AF patients with safer and more convenient treatment regimens to protect patients from stroke. Beyond stroke prevention, there are other clinical endpoints and chronic conditions that healthcare professionals need to consider in treating patients with AF.
