Episode 64: Establishing an AF Center of Excellence – Key Operational Standards

In this update, #HRStv host Oliver J. Monfredi, MBChB, PhD, FHRS sat down with Thomas F. Deering, BS, MBA, MD, FHRS, CCDS, and T. Jared Bunch, MD, FHRS to discuss establishing an AF center of excellence. This interview highlights a key follow-up to the original AF Center of Excellence (CoE) white paper by Piccini et al. While the first paper defined what an AF CoE is, this new document outlines the criteria for establishing one — a critical step forward in advancing atrial fibrillation care. Sponsored by the HRS Quality Improvement Committee and the AF CoE Task Force, this collaborative effort includes input from nearly 20 multidisciplinary experts and 6 high-profile peer reviewers, all leaders in the field.
