How can EHRA-PATHS contribute to improving the lives of elderly atrial fibrillation patients with multimorbidity?

The treatment, effectiveness and outcome of patients with atrial fibrillation is largely defined by the underlying comorbidities. On average, elderly patients with atrial fibrillation have 4-5 comorbidities. Many of those lie outside the cardiovascular field. Keeping track of their detection, management, and multidisciplinary follow up, requires better tools. That is exactly the goal of this project. We will develop such tools, and test in a randomised clinical trial whether their use effectively improves comorbidity management.
