Description
Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and the leading cardiac cause of stroke and often we see these unstable patients in a critical care setting. Various treatments for atrial fibrillation include anticoagulation, rate control medication, rhythm control medication, cardioversion, ablation, and other interventional cardiac procedures. This session describes the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of atrial fibrillation and highlights the new treatment directions. Several devices for stabilizing cardiac rhythms will be discussed as well as an overview of the patient who presents with ICD shock.
