Keenan Saleh, Shouvik Haldar
Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and imposes a significant healthcare burden. The landscape of AF has changed considerably over the past few years, with the advent of novel diagnostic approaches, advances in therapies and changing recommendations on best practice from the latest major trials. In this article, we review our evolving understanding of the natural history of AF and explore the contemporary landscape of its diagnosis and management.
