title: [The clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation. Medical reflections from the daily practice].
abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a global public health problem. The implementation of a clinical practice guideline is essential to standardize the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this rhythm disturbance. However, due to the wide clinical spectrum which is associated with AF, it makes difficult to standardize the recommendations and cause that are not always appropriate interpretations of the same setting, so there will be some clinical reflections of the recommendations in the clinical practice guidelines published in this journal, to assist the medical not specialist to put them in everyday clinical setting.
