Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most popular arrhythmias in clinical practice. Due to growing life expectancy it concerns almost 3% people in highly developed societies. In last few months new recommendations of AHA/ACC/HRS (American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology/Heart Rhythm Society), and CCS (Canadian Cardiology Society) were published. The authors focused on anticoagulation as a result of approval of new medications and thromboembolism protection devices, catheter ablation of AF including the patients with heart failure, management of AF complicating acute coronary syndrome, diagnosis and management of subclinical AF as well as integrated approach to the patient with AF.
