Despite its prevalence, a significant number of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) cases remain undiagnosed, putting patients at risk for cardiovascular complications, including heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, hypertension, diabetes, stroke or embolism, and vascular disease. Primary care physicians face challenges in identifying and managing NVAF, and often fail to implement guideline-concordant care due to a lack of awareness of patients who could benefit from therapy, or lack of confidence in utilizing these therapies. In addition, patients from communities of color often do not receive the same level of care as those from other populations, while new and emerging technologies, such as smart watches, portable ECG devices, and medication/fitness trackers can both enhance patient engagement in care and create clinical quandaries for practitioners.
During this 60-minute Live and OnDemand webcast, an interprofessional panel of experts including a cardiologist, a PCP, and a digital health specialist provide astute perspectives on how to implement equitable and contemporary NVAF screening and management strategies into clinical practice.
