Heart In Sync: A-fib and Lifestyle Links
Improving Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patient Care and Outcomes
Patients often wonder what triggers initial onset and subsequent episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib), and evidence increasingly supports the importance of lifestyle and risk factor modification for primary and secondary prevention of atrial fibrillation. In this podcast, experts discuss the current evidence related to common patient-reported triggers, as well as the latest evidence-based guidelines related to risk factor modification for prevention of AFib onset, slowing of AFib progression, and improved AFib -related outcomes. CE and MOC credits are available. Claim CE:
