EHRA-PATHS Project Explores Complexities of Atrial Fibrillation and Comorbidities

In a thought-provoking scientific session at the EHRA congress in Berlin on April 7, the EHRA-PATHS project will delve into the intricate relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and comorbidities. The session, titled “Comorbidity Management in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation,” aims to spark meaningful discussions on the multifaceted challenges in AF care in elderly patients.

 Speaker Highlights:

1. Tatjana Potpara (Belgrade University, Serbia):

Insights into the Comorbidity Profile of Atrial Fibrillation Patients from the EORP Databases

2. Prashanthan Sanders (University of Adelaide, Australia):

Weight Control and Workouts for Atrial Fibrillation Patients

3. Gerry Lee (King’s College London):

The Patient’s Perception of Atrial Fibrillation Care

Discussant: Jeremy Dwight (ESC Patient Forum, Greater London)

4. Dominik Linz (Maastricht University Medical Centre, Netherlands):

Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Unpacking the Complexities:

The EHRA-PATHS project seeks to move beyond conventional discussions on AF, exploring the intricate interplay between this cardiac condition and various comorbidities.

As Jeremy Dwight, representing the ESC Patient Forum, takes on the role of discussant, the session is likely to conclude with reflections on the practical implications of the presented research and its potential impact on patient outcomes.

This scientific session will be more than a presentation of data; it’s an opportunity to engage in a nuanced conversation about the challenges and possibilities in managing AF within the context of comorbidities. The EHRA-PATHS project invites participants to join this discourse, contributing to a collective effort to redefine and improve the landscape of atrial fibrillation care.
