Exploring patient engagement in atrial fibrillation with multimorbidity: impact on quality of life, medication adherence and healthcare perceptions—a multicountry cross-sectional study
From a clinical perspective, the findings highlight the need for a personalised approach sensitive to the expectations and needs of AF patients. The present research suggests that implementing sociodemographic and clinical profiling for AF patients could facilitate the formulation of improved care strategies.
