Abstract. Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) need constant care and attention, requiring interdisciplinary medical teams and periodic overview of the literature in the matter of treatment. Thus, the recent recommendations regarding prevention, management and treatment of AF according to the 30th of August 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines offer us a new and improved perspective of the medical act. In this review we aim to emphasize the newest data and also to draw attention to the differences between the 2020 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of AF developed in collaboration with the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and the 2024 ESC Guidelines for the management of AF.
