Abstract

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is considered the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia in the general population. Current practice guidelines recommend a comprehensive treatment approach that goes beyond the management of the arrhythmia and the prevention of the associated increased risk of stroke, and it has been demonstrated that numerous risk factors contribute to the predisposition of AF, and identification and consequent management of such risk factors is therefore paramount
