To help healthcare providers explain AFib to patients, their families and caregivers, AF Stat has developed the AFib Educator.
This iPhone app and desktop widget provides healthcare professionals with an interactive resource to help illustrate how AFib can affect the heart; visually demonstrate the symptoms, risks and management strategies of atrial fibrillation (AFib); and where patients can learn more.
New features
• AFib management animations: demonstrates the effects of different management strategies for a heart in AFib, including:
o Rate control
o Rhythm control
• AFib risk animations:
o Stroke risk animation:shows an AFib-related stroke to illustrate that a blood clot can travel from the heart to the brain as a result of AFib
o Remodeling process animation: depicts the remodeling process, which is a result of untreated AFib that affects the shape and size of the heart
Original features

• Fluoroscopy (x-ray) images of the heart in and out of rhythm, featuring the heart's electrical impulse
• EKG readings with normal heart rate and with AFib

What's New in Version 2.0.1
The recently enhanced AFib Educator 2.0 builds on the elements of the first generation AFib Educator while incorporating additional advancements that visually demonstrate the symptoms, risks and management strategies of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The updated app is a dynamic, interactive resource designed to help health care providers better educate and explain the complexities of AFib to their patients.
