Eurasian clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation in adult patients (2025)

In this document we provide comprehensive review of contemporary approaches to diagnostic work-up and management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults. These guidelines are based on systematic methods to evaluate and classify evidence and provide a foundation for the delivery of quality cardiovascular care. Previous version of Eurasian clinical practice guidelines published in 2019 required revision due to a number of randomized clinical trials in major medical and surgical approaches to AF published in 2019-2024. Updated version of Eurasian Clinical practice guidelines based on methodology of European society of cardiology guidelines (2024) and American heart association/ American College of cardiology guidelines (2023). Revision included not only new scientific data but also took into consideration regional differences in healthcare systems, medical services and drugs availability and epidemiology of AF in Eurasian region.
