Robert L. McNamara & Eric B. Bass. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia physicians face in clinical practice, with an incidence of up to 2.3% per year & a prevalence of almost 9% in those age 80-89 years. In addition to having various symptoms, patients with AF have increased risk for stroke & death. This report synthesizes the available evidence on strategies for handling each of the following key aspects in the management of patients with new onset AF: electrical cardioversion & pharmacological conversion, maintenance of sinus rhythm, ventricular rate control, stroke prevention, outpatient management, & echocardiography.
