心房纤颤影响2.七百万和六百万.100万美国人, and accounts for about one-third of hospitalizations for 心 rhythm disturbance. It is often undiagnosed because it occurs sporadically and may not produce symptoms. Patients with AFib are five times more likely to have 中风s and are at risk for developing other 心-related complications. 遵循指南®- AFIB is aimed at improving access to proven medical therapies based on scientific guidelines, monitoring the quality of AFib care in U.S. hospitals and creating a database for continued research and quality improvement initiatives.
The 美国心脏协会 and 心脏节律学会 today announce a collaboration with the 遵循指南®- AFIB计划. The 美国心脏协会 and the 心脏节律学会 share the mission of providing quality data for the purpose of advancing patient care.
Both organizations are working together to:
- Engage more hospitals and clinicians to learn about quality improvement and participate in the 遵循指南-AFIB Program.
- Increase educational opportunities 对于专业心脏病专家, including electrophysiologists, through webinars and national conferences
- Advance cardiovascular research and quality improvement through joint efforts
- Support improvements in quality of patient care and effective management of patients who suffer from AFib
