OVERVIEW
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this symposium, participants should be able to—
There have been recent changes to the way we manage patients with atrial fibrillation
(AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). Guidelines for the use of anticoagulants have been updated
and expanded. There are non-pharmacologic therapies now available to prevent embolic
strokes in patients who are at increased risk of bleeding. Catheter ablation for AF and
AFL have become mainstream options with low risk.
• Identify and label the level of risk for embolic stroke among patients with AF and AFL.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, diagnosed
in approximately 1% of the general population. AF is projected to affect over 7.5 million
people in the United States (U.S.) by 2050 and poses a significant burden. Atrial
fibrillation (AF) is a common cause of devastating but potentially preventable stroke.
Among patients with AF without prophylaxis, the risk of stroke is 5 times higher than
in persons free of the disease. Thromboprophylaxis with oral anticoagulants involving
warfarin or other agents is the mainstay for stroke prevention, reducing the annual
incidence of stroke in AF patients by more than 60%. However, thromboprophylaxis is
generally under-utilized among AF patients.
• Discuss new cardiac device technologies available for the primary and secondary prevention
of sudden cardiac death.
The goal of this symposium is to inform physicians about the recent updates to the
guidelines for management of AF and AFL, including the various treatment to reduce
the risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and possible role of
left appendage closure in decreasing burden of AF. It is important to highlight the
different new strategies to manage AF and protect AF patients from stroke; improve the
knowledge of adult cardiologist about Congenital Heart Disease; review the management
of ventricular tachycardia, with the goal of improving diagnosis and management
of this condition; and review subcutaneous ICD—indications, implantation and
complications—with the goal of providing a safe alternative option for patients needing
an ICD to prevent lethal arrhythmias
TARGET AUDIENCE
The symposium has been designed for: cardiologists, cardiologists with an interest in electrophysiology, cardiac electrophysiologists, internists with an interest in cardiology, cardiology fellows,
CHI Baylor St. Luke’s Health cath lab technicians, and family and general practitioners.
ACCREDITATION &
CREDIT DESIGNATION
Texas Heart Institute is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Texas Heart Institute designates this live activity for a maximum of 6.0 AMA PRA Category 1
Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
• Select specific anticoagulant agent for an individual patient based on each agent’s pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties.
• Explain the up to date guidelines for management of AF. Should be able to decide appropriate
patients for catheter ablation.
• Discuss multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and managing cardiac implantable device
infections
• Review the optimal approach to management of the VT.
• Identify appropriate patients who may benefit from left atrial appendage exclusion.
• Discuss risk of sudden cardiac death in athletes.
