The traps that quietly cost points

These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.

CHA₂DS₂-VASc score determines anticoagulation need: ≥ 2 in men, ≥ 3 in women = anticoagulate
Rate control (beta-blocker or CCB) vs rhythm control — rate control adequate for most
DOACs (apixaban, rivarelbaan) preferred over warfarin for stroke prevention
Must check TSH — hyperthyroidism is a reversible cause of AFib
Irregularly irregular rhythm with no P waves on ECG = diagnostic
