ESC Releases New Clinical Practice Guidelines For Atrial Fibrillation

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has announced the release of new Clinical Practice Guidelines ESCcovering for atrial fibrillation. These are the first guidelines to be prepared solely by the ESC on this very important topic. The previous guidelines on atrial fibrillation had been prepared in collaboration with the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology, but the  divergence in practice, drug treatments and the regulatory environment compared with the US have now made it necessary to create a European-specific version. The new guidelines were presented at the annual ESC Congress in Stockholm.
