The Atrial Fibrillation Health Literacy Information Technology System: Pilot Assessment
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent heart rhythm condition that has significant associated morbidity and requires chronic treatment. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies have the potential to enhance multiple aspects of AF care, including education, monitoring of symptoms, and encouraging and tracking medication adherence.

متن کاملA review of rate control in atrial fibrillation, and the rationale and protocol for the RATE-AF trial
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and causes impaired quality of life, an increased risk of stroke and death as well as frequent hospital admissions. The majority of patients with AF require control of heart rate. In this article , we summarise the limited evidence from clinical trials that guides prescription, and present the rationale and protocol for a new randomise...
متن کاملRationale and design of the Chinese Atrial Fibrillation Registry Study
BACKGROUND Robust data on the contemporary management of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in China are limited. Importantly current practice in AF management has changing dramatically in recent years. Data from a large registry study will enable us to evaluate the uptake and outcomes with different therapies in a large Chinese AF population. METHODS/DESIGN The Chinese Atrial Fibrillation Reg...
