Beskrivning

Atrial Fibrillation (AF), due to aging population, is a new epidemic leading to increase in mortality, morbidity and affecting quality of life. AF often presents clear symptoms of palpitation and dyspnoea, though sometimes it may not be associated with a clear or any symptoms at all, but rather is diagnosed when one of its complications appears, mainly ischemic stroke or heart failure.Atrial Fibrillation for General Cardiologists: The management in an office-based setting of patients with or suspected to have Atrial Fibrillation summarizes the main epidemiologic and various clinical aspects of AF. The book covers a range of topics from the updates of diagnostic tools including eHealth tools, long term monitoring devices, mobile-Apps, to be utilized by both cardiologists and patients themselves; to clinical and therapeutic management for special populations such as elderly, patients with other illnesses such as Chronic Lung diseases, Cancer patients, Endocrine conditions, Gastroenteric disorders and more. The book is an essential guide for both clinicians and researchers with an interest in atrial fibrillation, summarizing all established guidelines and clarifying any unclear aspects when dealing with special population.
