Goodfellow Unit Webinar: Managing Atrial Fibrillation
In this webinar, Cardiologist Dr Ralph Stewart will discuss managing atrial fibrillation in primary care.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for stroke and heart disease and the most common sustained heart arrhythmia encountered in general practice. A recent study estimated more than 60,000 Kiwi’s between the ages of 35 and 74 years were diagnosed with AF.

41:02 Audience Q&A
54:06 Case Studies

As the result of an ageing population and co-morbidities the prevalence of AF is projected to substantially rise. As a result, primary health care practitioners will have an increasingly important role in managing this condition in the years to come.
Key topics include:
The risk of stroke and when anticoagulation is recommended.
Which anticoagulant at what dose?
The importance of other heart disease, co-morbidity and frailty.
Other important therapies.
Rhythm and rate control.
Could electronic decision support help?
