AFNET – the Atrial Fibrillation NETwork

Physicians and scientists co-operate within the AFNET. A network is formed by hospitals and doctors’ offices – reaching from GPs to university hospitals.

Atrial Fibrillation – Information for Patients

Atrial Fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia of the heart – especially in elderly people. We inform you about the current treatment options.

Research – Clinical Trials on a European Level

Several million people in Europe live with atrial fibrillation. We investigate new treatment options. Within AFNET trials scientists co-operate on a European level.

Results – for a better treatment

New findings from AFNET trials flow into the clinical routine. AFNET experts develop recommendations for the therapy of atrial fibrillation.
