Abstract
The article discusses the contribution of atrial fibrillation (AF) to the structure of ambulance calls to patients with arrhythmias in St. Petersburg, diagnosis, clinical assessment of this group of patients and providing them with assistance within the framework of the clinical and tactical scheme. The author analyzes our own experience in studying the effectiveness of drug cardioversion of the paroxysmal form of AF and suggests directions for optimizing the provision of medical care at the pre-hospital stage.
