Atrial fibrillation is the most common abnormal heart rhythm and has tripled in prevalence of the last 50 years. Approximately 20% of patients with atrial fibrillation may not even know that they have the arrhythmia. This podcast episode will provide insight into the importance of undiagnosed atrial fibrillation and will give practical tips to the pharmacist interested in developing a screening program for identifying undiagnosed atrial fibrillation.
