Summary
Comprehensive update to the 2014 guideline and 2019 focused update for diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation, introducing a new stage-based AF classification (Stages 1–4) emphasizing AF as a disease continuum. Major changes include upgrading catheter ablation to Class 1 first-line therapy in selected patients (including HFrEF), upgrading LAA occlusion to Class 2a for long-term anticoagulation contraindications, emphasizing early rhythm control, prescriptive lifestyle/risk factor modification, and refined recommendations for device-detected AF based on episode duration and CHA2DS2-VASc score.
