Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of heart arrhythmia.1 It affects 38 million people worldwide,2 and that number is expected to double by 2050.3
Patient education has been shown to improve treatment adherence, satisfaction and clinical outcomes.4 As AFib cases continue to rise, healthcare professionals can improve patient management with increased education.
