The management of atrial fibrillation comprises three domains that have a prognostic impact in terms of prolonged survival and prevention of serious complications. These include hemodynamic stabilization, detection and treatment of underlying cardiovascular diseases, and assessment of stroke risk.

AF patients with concomitant heart failure represent a challenging population requiring specific therapy.
