Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

iABC platform use

iABC platform use: The novel platform (iABC) that will be used in AFFIRMO will consist of an educational program, a healthy or functional diet/physical activity, guideline-adherent drug treatments, periodic (re)assessment.

Study summary

The study will verify if a structured multidisciplinary approach (called iABC), aimed to improve the appropriate management of elderly AF patients with multimorbidity (the i-ABC group), would provide a clear evidence of an improvement in clinical conditions and quality of life compared to usual clinical care. The i-ABC group in AFFIRMO will follow the ABC pathway, focused on three domains: avoid stroke with anticoagulation (with optimized VKA or label-adherent DOAC use); better symptom management; and optimized management of associated cardiovascular and non cardiovascular comorbidities.

The study will be conducted in Bulgaria, Denmark, Italy, Romania, Serbia and Spain .
