Improving Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Emerging Options

Tailoring drug therapy for atrial fibrillation on the basis of individual patient needs is the focus of three new Web-based activities that are now available as part of the home-study educational initiative, “Improving Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Emerging Options.” The program uses patient case scenarios to illustrate the decision-making process in initiating and adjusting antiarrhythmic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation, including patients with structural heart disease or renal dysfunction. In addition, appropriate monitoring plans and potential drug interactions with common antiarrhythmic agents are discussed. Audience response questions are integrated into each case study, allowing participants to apply the information as the case develops. Each activity is approved for 1 hour of continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credit, and the activities can be completed in any order.
