Advances in Managing Atrial Fibrillation

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Charles Kerr, MD Dr. Charles Kerr, president of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, and director of the electrophysiology program at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, joins host Dr. Janet Wright, to discuss the challenges of managing patients with atrial fibrillation. For those patients who may warrant ablation, what is the current thinking about who should be referred for this procedure, and how should we define its success? Given that there are multiple approaches to ablation for atrial fibrillation, are we seeing the field gravitate toward one or a few of the most effective strategies?
