Atrial Fibrillation from scratch (a beginners guide).

A beginner's guide to Atrial Fibrillation (AF), designed to give healthcare professionals a basic working knowledge of the dysrhythmia. Includes the pathophysiology of AF, ECG interpretation and some common complications (thrombus formation, loss of atrial kick and fast AF).

REFERENCES
The book I used most when researching these videos is 'the ECG Workbook' by Rowlands and Sargent (2019) amzn.to/3AJGT4Y (amazon.co.uk link)
Animations Software
The software I use to create the videos is called Adobe Animate. It's relatively simple to learn and use, although it can be quite time-consuming... Here's a link to a tutorial I've made on getting started.
