Don’t Miss: HRStv Interview on AFib Care Pathways and Outcomes
Clinicians caring for patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation will not want to miss “Heart Rhythm TV Update: Patient Care Pathways and Outcomes Following Newly Diagnosed AFib,” an HRStv interview exploring how structured, evidence-based care pathways can support earlier intervention, improve care coordination, and help optimize outcomes for patients with AFib.
The interview features Drs. Emily P. Zeitler and T. Jared Bunch, authors of the recently published Journal of the American Heart Association study, “Patient Care Pathways and Outcomes Following Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation.” The study describes the heterogeneity of care, examines treatment patterns within different care pathways, and explores outcomes for patients managed within pathways that include EP involvement versus those that do not.
Their discussion highlights practical insights from the study and examines how organized care pathways may help clinicians translate evidence into action for patients at a critical point in their AFib journey.
Learning Objectives
- Understand current referral patterns and outcomes following newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation.
- The role of multidisciplinary coordination, including EP involvement, in effective AFib management.
- How pathway-based care may support better patient outcomes while reducing health system burden.
