Abstract
The latest (2023) guideline on atrial fibrillation from the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, American College of Chest Physicians, and Heart Rhythm Society introduces a new staging system for the disease, emphasizes risk-factor modification, prioritizes rhythm control over rate control, and clarifies which patients should be considered for catheter ablation. It also delves deeper than earlier guidelines into calculations of risk of thrombosis when deciding whether to start anticoagulant therapy.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
