New Staging Scheme for Atrial Fibrillation
The new atrial fibrillation guidelines introduce a new staging scheme for the disease, categorizing it as a progressive condition. The stages include paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (stage 3A), persistent atrial fibrillation (stage 3B), and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (stage 3C). Stage 3D is for patients who have no clinical atrial fibrillation after successful cardioversion. Additionally, the guidelines added two stages before the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, identifying those at risk for atrial fibrillation and those with structural or electrical changes that may lead to atrial fibrillation.
