Please note that the content on this channel reflects my professional interpretation/summary of the guidance and that I am in no way affiliated with, employed by or funded/sponsored by NICE.

My name is Fernando Florido and I am a GP in the United Kingdom. In today’s episode I look at the NICE guidelines: “Atrial fibrillation: diagnosis and management” (NG196), as well as the Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) on diagnosis of AF and management of AF, both last updated in March 2023. I have summarised the guidance from a Primary Care perspective.

By way of disclaimer, I am not giving medical advice; this video is intended for health care professionals, it is only my interpretation of the guidelines and you must use your clinical judgement.
