Title: Atrial Fibrillation: A Walk Through the Woods
Objective: The long road of managing patients with atrial fibrillation starting with rate control to rhythm control strategy will be reviewed. An in-depth look at the different modalities currently available for atrial fibrillation ablation – radiofrequency and cryo-ablation- and future options with pulse wave therapy will be presented. The participants will learn how to manage these patients and when to refer to electrophysiologist. How to manage these patients’ post-procedure.
Outline
-
Learn surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation.
-
Discuss pacing approaches to treat atrial fibrillation.
