This topic will provide a broad overview of the classification, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and sequelae of AF, including new-onset AF The initiation and maintenance of AF reflect electrophysiologic alterations in atrial myocardium

Initial studies suggested that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and (possibly) aldosterone antagonists might either prevent new onset and recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) or reduce the rate of major adverse cardiovascular outcomes in these patients

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects more than 33 million individuals worldwide and increases risks of stroke, heart failure, and death The CHARGE-AF risk score was developed to predict incident AF in three American cohorts and it was validated in two European cohorts

Atrial fibrillation: Overview and management of new-onset atrial fibrillation Atrial fibrillation ( AF ) is the most commonly treated cardiac arrhythmia AF is generally associated with an irregularly irregular ventricular rhythm and absence of distinct P waves

- Role of echocardiography in atrial fibrillation - UpToDate
The topic will review the use of echocardiography in evaluating patients with AF An overview of AF is presented separately (See "Atrial fibrillation: Overview and management of new-onset atrial fibrillation" ) OBJECTIVES The role of echocardiographic imaging among patients with AF can be divided into two main categories:
