127 Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter Targeting the uNTreated (SPAFF-TNT) at the Orlando Veteran Affairs (VA) Healthcare System
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are associated with an elevated risk of stroke and systemic embolism without anticoagulation therapy. The SPAFF-TNT project, initiated at the Salt Lake City VA and replicated at the Orlando VA Healthcare System, aimed to identify Veterans at risk who may benefit from anticoagulation therapy. This quality improvement project sought to determine reasons why Veterans with a non-sex CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2 and an active diagnosis of atrial fibrillation/flutter were not receiving oral anticoagulation therapy.
