The 4 F's of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Webinar and Audiocast Series

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common type of irregular heartbeat, estimated to affect about 12.1 million U.S. adults by 2030 (link opens in new window)(link opens in new window). The abnormal firing of electrical impulses causes part of the heart to quiver, or fibrillate, often leading to complications and up to a fivefold increased risk of stroke. To help ensure all patients with AFib receive guideline-recommended care, the American Heart Association launched an initiative to educate and engage clinicians in AFib care. The 4Fs of AFib initiative is focused on four patient and clinician concerns impeding guideline-directed anticoagulant therapy, fear of bleeding, falls, frailty and forgetfulness.

 

Webinars

AFib focused webinars including a series focused on "The 4 F's of AFib" addressing gaps and barriers to care for the diagnosed and undertreated AFib patient focused on four key areas of concern - Frailty, Falls, Fear of Bleeding, and Forgetfulness.
