Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: The Special Issues We Face Daily (Plus Self-Assessment)

Managing stroke risk in specific populations often requires a tailored approach. The health care professional must weigh the risks and benefits of the different management strategies with each patient, and there are many “gray” areas for which no solid evidence base is available.

This complimentary case-based activity will address what to do when special situations arise and will examine the management of stroke risk in various patient populations in the context of surgery, acute coronary syndrome, AF ablation, and after a major bleeding event.

The learner can also participate in an 18-question self-assessment examination and can earn up to 2 ACE credits.
