Meeting Summary

This Boehringer Ingelheim sponsored satellite symposium was held on 2nd September 2013 as part of the ESC conference, which was hosted this year in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In light of recent advances within the field of stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF), the scientific programme contained an overview of the updated guidelines, with a subsequent focus on their everyday implementation, through interactive case studies in order to address some of the practical issues that have arisen.

The meeting was co-chaired by Professors Gregory Lip and Michael Brainin, who were supported by a distinguished faculty of Professor Jonas Oldgren, Professor Hans-Christoph Diener and Dr John Eikelboom.
