A New Solution for an Old Problem? Effects of a Nurse-led, Multidisciplinary, Home-based Intervention on Readmission and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract

These unique data provide sufficient preliminary evidence to support the hypothesis that the benefits of HBI in relation to the management of HF may extend to "high risk" patients with chronic AF in whom morbidity and mortality rates are also unacceptably high. Further, appropriately powered studies are required to confirm these benefits.
