VIRTUES AF

Virtual AF is a model of care that integrates patient health data with accumulating clinical and digital data and guideline-informed interventions targeted to the needs of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

  • VIRTUES AF will provide evolving arrhythmia care to the patients and caregivers remotely.
  • The platform will be used by highly symptomatic AF patients awaiting catheter ablation or who have had a recent catheter ablation.
  • Patients will be provided with an AF care plan and, in accordance with the needs of the specific patients and caregivers, personalized education.

Highlights

  • Currently, we have engaged clinical experts across Canada to design the management modules and adapt intervention guidelines for:
    • LV Function and Heart Failure
    • AF Rate Control
    • Rhythm Control for AF
    • AF-Thromboembolic Prevention,
    • Symptom/Rhythm Correlation
  • A patient working group has been established consisting of a patient study co-lead and 7 additional patients to help in the design and development of the VIRTUES-AF care sets and related educational materials
