If you want to learn more about secondary stroke prevention and how to incorporate the use of the popular “Guidelines on the Go,” mobile app into clinical practice, join us for this CE approved 3-part webinar series on AFib in Cryptogenic Stroke Detection and Secondary Stroke Prevention. In this first webinar, experts will demonstrate through case-based examples how to perform a diagnostic evaluation to determine if AF is a related cause of stroke, describe subgroups within cryptogenic stroke and provide strategies to reduce the risk of recurrence.

While collaboration across clinical specialties is recognized to be an essential component of optimizing quality patient care, it is difficult to find guidance for clinicians in the literature as to how to address the continuum of care in the cryptogenic stroke patient diagnosed with AF. In this webinar, experts will review Guidelines for the Management of Patients with AF and offer recommendations on how to improve communication and integrated care across disciplines.
