The effective management of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a high priority for many clinicians worldwide because a significant number of people globally who are living with AF are at risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). This makes our understanding and implementation of new findings and clinical trial outcomes that much more important as we develop effective, personalized treatment plans for our patients. Tune in to our micro learning course to make sure you’re up to date and providing the care your patients deserve.
