Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter – the state of the art. Part 1

Abstract: Despite constantly updating our knowledge on atrial fibrillation and flutter, there are still many questions and doubts about the nature and extent of the arrhythmic and non-arrhythmic consequences of these arrhythmias. In part 1 of the state-ofthe-art paper the diagnostic work-up of patients with the 2 arrhythmias has been summarized. The management of patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter requires a multidisciplinary approach in the risk assessment (including stroke) and treatment strategy. Regardles… Show more

“…Despite this significant association, several other risk factors for stroke in AF have been reported. The most common risk factors for both AF and stroke are advanced age and cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, hyperlipidaemia, and smoking [6,[13][14][15].…”

“…It should be noted that about 1/3 of all strokes are caused by AF. Often, stroke is the first clinical manifestation of AF [40][41][42]. Recently, increasing attention has also been paid to the involvement of cardiac arrhythmias in the etiology of RAO [36,40].…”

“…Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a global healthcare problem, and the prevalence of AF is increasing worldwide. Even with optimal therapy, patients with AF have an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and heart failure (HF), and death [1]. Prevention of stroke and thromboembolic events remains an essential part of AF treatment according to the recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology and the American Heart Association; however, improved symptom management and optimal cardiovascular and comorbidity management are equally important [2,3].…”
