Overview / Abstract: |
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often asymptomatic making it difficult to detect and diagnose. Unfortunately, for many patients, a diagnosis of AF only follows a hospitalization for an acute event. Both targeted screening and opportunistic screening in the primary care setting can increase the rate of detection of new cases of AF, but are you current with the latest evidence? If you're a puzzle enthusiast, dive into this unique educational experience with CrossMED™! This engaging activity combines clue-based crosswords with word games to test your knowledge. Then, immerse yourself in expert videos, resources, and supporting data to increase your proficiency in screening practices to support early diagnosis while optimizing referrals of at-risk patients. Support better outcomes for your patients through this fun and engaging learning opportunity today! |
