Abstrakt: | Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular atrial electrical activity, posing significant challenges to patient management and healthcare systems worldwide. Non-rheumatic AF, distinct from AF due to rheumatic heart disease, encompasses a spectrum of etiologies, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and structural heart abnormalities. This review examines the latest advancements in managing non-rheumatic AF, encompassing diagnostic approaches, pharmacological therapies, and innovative non-pharmacological interventions. Diagnostic strategies ranging from traditional electrocardiography to advanced imaging modalities are explored alongside emerging biomarkers and wearable technologies facilitating early detection and management. Pharmacological management options, including novel anticoagulants and rhythm control agents, are evaluated in light of current guidelines and recent clinical trials. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as catheter ablation and device-based therapies, are discussed regarding their evolving techniques and outcomes. Special considerations for diverse patient populations, including elderly individuals and athletes, are addressed, emphasizing personalized approaches to optimize therapeutic outcomes. The review concludes with insights into future directions for AF management, highlighting promising avenues in gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and precision medicine approaches. By synthesizing recent research findings and clinical innovations, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the dynamic landscape of non-rheumatic AF management, offering insights for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare stakeholders.
