Events at this location

People with atrial fibrillation participate in treatment decisions with their healthcare providers but also must make decisions every day about managing their condition. Whether related to their symptoms, risk factors, activity, or healthcare seeking, patients can find it challenging to know the best option to take. Technology can play a revolutionary role from accessing virtual specialist care to wearables for daily heart monitoring. Join us for a discussion with experts about the latest research, evidence, and experiences in decision-making for atrial fibrillation self-care.
