Annual Evidence Update on Atrial Fibrillation: 1-5 June 2009

An update of the evidence on this topic from NHS Evidence - cardiovascular.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and if left untreated is a significant risk factor for stroke and other morbidities. NICE published a guideline on management of AF in June 2006. The NHS Evidence - cardiovascular team has systematically identified high quality evidence that has appeared since then, and will present this with summaries written by leading experts in the field.
