Abstract

BackgroundThe Atrial fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway is the gold-standard approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) management, but the effect of implementation on health outcomes in care home residents is unknown.ObjectiveTo examine associations between ABC pathway adherence and stroke, transient...
