EHRA-PATHS: Addressing multimorbidity in elderly atrial fibrillation patients through interdisciplinary, patient-centred, systematic care pathways
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 945260
Objective
The EHRA-PATHS project aims to transform and improve the clinical practice in the field of AF to holistic, inclusive and personalised treatment strategies. It will change the single-disease focused approach to a multi-factorial approach considering multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and sex. This transformation will lead to an estimated reduction of € 20 billion in the yearly European healthcare burden of multimorbid, elderly AF patients (>65 years of age).
