Abstract: | Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly recognized as the cardiac electrophysiologic manifestation of a multifactorial systemic disease. Several risk factors for development of AF have been identified; many are modifiable. There is evidence to suggest that aggressive management of modifiable risk factors has potential to significantly reduce the burden of AF, before and after AF ablation. Specific risk factor management (RFM) clinics have been shown effective in conferring these benefits into tangible improvements in large cohorts of patients. This review discusses the evidence behind RFM as a key adjunctive management strategy alongside AF ablation and suggests a model for RFM in clinics. |
