Atrial fibrillation (AFib) affects more than 10.5 million Americas—and that number is only climbing. By 2030, over 12 million people are projected to have AFib (a 14% increase in just five years), driven by an aging population and the rise of conditions like hypertension, diabetes and obesity.
AFib is complex but managing it doesn’t have to be. The AAFP has you covered with trusted, evidence-based resources to help you deliver the best possible care.
