## In plain language

The UK NICE guideline NG196 on diagnosing and managing atrial fibrillation. Only an NCBI Bookshelf catalogue record was read, so this page gives no recommendations.

## Technical summary

NCBI Bookshelf lists NG196 with a publisher line dated 2022 Jun 30 (series statement NICE Guideline, No. 196). That is the date of the Bookshelf copy; the NICE publication and update dates were not read because nice.org.uk was not fetched. NICE content is cite only, so this atlas states what it read in its own words.
