A summary of the quality indicators is incorporated into ESC guidelines for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation.3 “This should enhance their dissemination and uptake into clinical practice,” said Dr. Arbelo. “Modern healthcare demands that we evaluate the standard of care patients receive and their outcomes. It is essential that the patient’s perspective is taken into account, particularly since most atrial fibrillation therapies aim to improve symptoms, well-being, and quality of life.”
The statement was developed by the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) of the ESC in collaboration with the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), and the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS).
