Atrial fibrillation can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. It can also lead to thrombi forming in the heart that may circulate to other organs and lead to ischemia. This activity will review pharmacologic treatments and other interventions for atrial fibrillation.

Learning objectives
At the end of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

• Explore clinical features, risk factors, diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation.
• Recognize the relationship between physical and behavioral health and atrial fibrillation.
• Discuss pharmacologic treatment of atrial fibrillation including antiarrhythmic agents and anticoagulation.
• Identify treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation including rate control, rhythm management, anticoagulation therapy, interventional procedures and surgical intervention.
