The Atrial Fibrillation – Diagnosis and Management guideline is available for External Review until March 10, 2023.

The draft guideline provides recommendations for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation including the primary prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adults aged ≥ 19 years.

The guideline is organized as management in the acute care and outpatient office settings. The current version of the guideline includes updated recommendations on screening and on the use of anticoagulants as first line therapy.

Although the intended audience of the guideline are primary care providers, patients may have feedback that would help improve the quality of the guideline.

Please visit the BC Guidelines External Review page to download the draft guideline and submit your feedback via our online questionnaire.

PVN has really helped us engage with patient partners to improve health services at Northern Health.  It is more and more becoming the norm to include patients in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services.  PVN education and supports, involving patient partners, have enabled us to develop the capacity to include the patient voice to make care better and achieve better health outcomes.
