Development of systematic care pathways to tackle multimorbidity in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation: results of a Delphi process among the Horizon 2020 EHRA-PATHS investigators

Abstract

On behalf of The Horizon 2020 EHRA-PATHS investigators Funding Acknowledgements: Type of funding sources: Public grant(s)-EU funding. Main funding source(s): This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 945260 Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the result of underlying diseases and many underlying comorbidities impact clinical outcomes. Elderly AF patients (≥65 years) have on average five comorbidities. Comorbidity management requires a systematic approach and interdisciplinary care pathways, which are lacking in most care settings. The EHRA-PATHS H2020 project No. 945260, coordinated by EHRA and ESC, aims to tackle this problem.
