Clinical Trial Summary

Management strategies for AF have made many advances over the last decade but there is still a great heterogeneity in the management of AF and it remains unclear how often clinicians adhere to current guidelines. A survey of an updated AF management would enable a timely assessment of implementation of current International guidelines, allow monitoring of early management of AF when a patients is admitted in a Emergency Room (ER) and Cardiology Unit.


Description:

Multicentre, observational study. 200 Italian Hospitals fully representing the Italian cardiology reality in terms of geographical distribution and level of hospital technology. Data collection in ER: Data on AF and Atrial Flutter episodes in ER will be collected retrospectively by checking the records of ER without collection of any data that can allow to identify the patients. These data will be collected under the responsibility of the Cardiology Departments consecutively for 4 weeks. Data collected in Cardiology: these data will be collected under the responsibility of the Cardiology Departments for 12 weeks consecutively.
