Abstract:
This article provides an interpretive review of the "2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS guideline for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation", which was updated and published by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) based on the latest clinical evidence. It delves into the classification and management strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF), grounded in the most current evidence-based medical research. The guideline offers significant updates in various aspects such as the definition and staging of AF, clinical evaluation and treatment, modification of risk factors, prevention of thromboembolism, and management of specific populations. Notably, the introduction of a new staging model for AF and corresponding management strategies stands out, underscoring the importance of prevention and early intervention. This article focuses on the three pillars of integrated AF management—stroke risk assessment, modification of risk factors, and management of specific patient groups, in addition to rate and rhythm control, analyzes their substantial significance in clinical practice and guides clinicians in providing more precise treatment.
