New AF will resolve in around 86% of cases prior to discharge from critical care.
Sepsis survivors who experience new AF in critical care are more likely to go on to develop AF, and ischaemic stroke, after discharge. Suitable surveillance is advised.
In cases of persistent AF, the CHA2DS2VASc and HAS-BLED scores can be used to calculate relative risk-benefit of anticoagulation
