Publication date: April 2018 Source:Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Volume 7, Issue 2 Author(s): Michael H. Hoskins, Anshul M. Patel, David B. DeLurgioTeaser The epidemic of atrial fibrillation (AF) requires a comprehensive management strategy that uses the full force of available data and technology, including anticoagulation, ablative therapy, and left atrial appendage occlusion. Patient-centered care with an emphasis on shared decision-making is particularly relevant to the authors’ understanding of the complexity of AF and has helped them tailor therapy in this ever-growing patient population.
