In this episode, experts explore tools for assessing ischemic stroke and bleeding risks, principles of anticoagulant dosing in atrial fibrillation, and alternative treatments for patients who can't take anticoagulants. This podcast discusses monitoring parameters, reversal agents, and best practices for perioperative anticoagulation management. Listen now for practical insights on optimizing patient care.

In this podcast, experts review the 4 stages of atrial fibrillation but focus on recognizing stage 2 pre-AFib, its appropriate work-up, monitoring, risk factor modification using a case-based discussion of a patient with palpitations, and another with short runs of silent atrial fibrillation. CE, AAFP, and MOC credit available.

Patients often wonder what triggers initial onset and subsequent episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib), and evidence increasingly supports the importance of lifestyle and risk factor modification for primary and secondary prevention of atrial fibrillation. In this podcast, experts discuss the current evidence related to common patient-reported triggers, as well as the latest evidence-based guidelines related to risk factor modification for prevention of AFib onset, slowing of AFib progression, and improved AFib -related outcomes. CE and MOC credits are available.
