This document summarizes the management of atrial fibrillation. It outlines that the main approaches are rate control, anticoagulation, and rhythm control. A key decision is determining a patient's stroke risk using the CHA2DS2-Vasc score to guide appropriate anticoagulation. For acute atrial fibrillation under 48 hours, the priorities are hemodynamic stability, rate control with medications, and anticoagulation if cardioversion is planned. For chronic atrial fibrillation, long-term anticoagulation and rate control are emphasized along with considering rhythm control if symptomatic.
