Living your best atrial fibrillation life: The importance of self-care
March 7, 2023 at 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Atrial fibrillation can be a complex and unpredictable chronic illness. Patients living with atrial fibrillation may feel out of control in their treatment journey, however, something in which all patients can actively participate in is self-care. Self-care is an essential aspect of managing atrial fibrillation but it has its challenges. While self-care is associated with improved symptom experience, reduced complications, and higher quality of life, patients require resources, support, and knowledge to build skills and confidence to engage actively in self-care.
Join us for a discussion with experts about the latest research, evidence, and experiences in atrial fibrillation self-care.
