Atrial Fibrillation

THOMAS WATCHMAN
About this episode

In this episode I cover atrial fibrillation.

If you want to follow along with written notes on atrial fibrillation go to zerotofinals.com/af or find the cardiology section in the Zero to Finals medicine book.

This episode covers the pathophysiology, presentation, differentials, investigations and principles of management of atrial fibrillation. We cover rate versus rhythm control and how to assess and anti-coagulate and patient with AF to prevent strokes.
