No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) who frequently attend the emergency department (ED) with symptoms may not require emergency treatment, and may be more appropriately managed in an alternative outpatient setting. This may be the result of inappropriate or inadequate advice or a lack of patient understanding. The main research objective pertains to the reason for seeking medical attention for AF in the ED, ED management of the patient, outcomes of ED care and alternative strategies.
