Unlike cardiovascular conditions with a narrow referral pathway (e.g., acute coronary syndrome), AF may be first detected by a wide range of specialties (often noncardiology) or a general practitioner. Since timely initiated optimal management is essential for the prevention of AF-related complications, a concise and simple guidance is essential for practitioners managing AF patients, regardless of their specialty. Guideline-adherent management of patients with AF has been shown to translate to improved patient outcomes compared with guideline-nonadherent treatment. To facilitate guideline implementation in routine clinical practice, a good guideline document on AF should introduce only evidence-based new recommendations, while avoiding arbitrary changes, which may be confusing to practitioners. Herein, we discuss the main changes in the 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) AF Guidelines relative to the previous 2020 ESC document.

Cardiorespiratory impairment in CTEPH and CTEPD underlies respiratory and hemodynamic mechanisms, either at rest or at exercise. Gas exchange is affected by the space effect, the increased blood velocity, and, possibly, intracardiac right to left shunts. As for hemodynamic effects, after a period of compensation, the right ventricle dilates and fails, which results in retrograde and anterograde right heart failure. Little is known on the pathophysiology of post-PE dyspnea, which has been reported in highly comorbid with lung and heart diseases, so that a \"two-hit\" hypothesis can be put forward: it might be caused by the acute myocardial damage caused by pulmonary embolism in the context of preexisting cardiac and/or respiratory diseases. More than one-third of PE survivors develops PPES, with only a small fraction (3-4%) represented by CTEPH. A value of ≈3% is a plausible estimate for the incidence of CTEPD. Growing evidence supports the role of CTEPD as a hemodynamic phenotype intermediate between post-PE dyspnea and CTEPH, but it still remains to be ascertained whether it constantly underlies exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension and if it is a precursor of CTEPH.
