Release Date: April 4, 2023
Expiration Date: April 3, 2024
Activity Description:
Implementing guideline-recommended anticoagulation therapy is vital to prevent stroke in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF). Through a MasterClass series of seven episodes, two expert cardiologists examine risk factors, screening strategies, and data from clinical trials, as well as real-world evidence, to offer best practices to detect and treat AF.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Describe the impact and burden of undiagnosed AF on the prevalence of stroke and other cardiovascular events, and ultimately on the healthcare system and society
• Implement interprofessional screening strategies to increase rates of AF diagnosis in at-risk patients, in accordance with guidelines and leveraging advances in technology
• Develop personalized, evidence-based anticoagulant treatment plans for patients diagnosed with AF using clinical trial evidence, current guidelines, real-world data, and individual patient characteristics.
