Why the study?
AF patients are often high risk due to advanced age and multiple comorbidities, requiring a holistic and integrated care approach to manage associated complications such as stroke and hospitalisations.
A holistic, integrated care approach using the ABC pathway and appropriate use of NOACs is essential for optimizing outcomes in high-risk atrial fibrillation patients with multiple comorbidities.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are often high risk being elderly and having multiple comorbidities. Many risk factors are established to be associated with new onset incident AF, as well as AF-related complications such as stroke and hospitalisations. Multimorbidity AF patients are high risk and require a holistic approach to care, which should be proactively managing with an integrated care or holistic approach as per the ABC (atrial fibrillation better care) pathway.
