Connect The Docs brings you an RACGP CPD Course worth 1 hour of Educational Activities points in the 2023-2025 Triennium.
Delve into the complexities of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) management, in particular the considerations between maintaining sinus rhythm and adopting rate control strategies. Explore the impact on patient well-being, the significance of early detection, Atrial Ablation as a key intervention, and gain practical insights into post-procedural patient follow-up in general practice. On completion, you will be better equipped to make informed decisions in the nuanced landscape of AF management.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss the benefits of maintaining Sinus Rhythm versus Atrial Fibrillation
2. Discuss the patient benefits of early detection/referral for early intervention of Atrial Fibrillation
3. Recall Atrial Ablation treatment and management options
4. Discuss specific patient follow up information relevant to GP practice post AF ablation
