  Overview

  In a podcast style discussion, Mike Corvino, PharmD and Cole Swanson, PharmD examine the management of atrial fibrillation. This is a very common condition with new data published about the medications used in treatment. Pharmacists and nurses regularly encounter patients who have atrial fibrillation. It is important that pharmacists and nurses understand the appropriate use of the relevant medications and know how to identify patients at risk for complications. This session seeks to explore these topics, focusing on how this information can best be incorporated into daily medical practice.
