Atrial Fibrillation (AF): Made Easy & Clinically Relevant

Описание: Atrial fibrillation (AF; AFib) made easy—clinically relevant ECG/EKG interpretation, how to recognize AF with RVR, and how to approach AFib management from bedside to boards.

In this lecture from This is Why, Dr. Busti will break down atrial fibrillation in a clear, practical way so you can confidently answer:
What is atrial fibrillation (AF) and why does it matter clinically?
How do you identify AF on an ECG/EKG (classic “irregularly irregular” rhythm)?
When is it atrial fibrillation with RVR, and what do you do first?
Rate control vs rhythm control in atrial fibrillation: how to think about each strategy
Stroke risk: using CHA2DS2-VASc (and bleeding risk with HAS-BLED)
Anticoagulation in AFib: DOACs vs warfarin (high-yield clinical pearls)

The goal = make medical education easy and clinically relevant.
