结局指标
主要结局
changes from the baseline and better score in the validated ASTA questionnaire of the intervention group compared to the control group at 12 months in quality of life of patients .
时间窗: 12 months
We will use the second part of ASTA questionnaire: it consists of 13 questions and the answers are measured using a Likert frequency scale from "Never = 0" to "Always = 4". Higher scores on this scale represent poorer quality of life.
次要结局
- differences between both groups in the score obtained in the adapted AFKAT questionnaire patient's knowledge of AF.(3 months)
- differences between both groups in the score received by the patients in the User Experience Questionnaire based on the Picker-33 Patient Experience Questionnaire(3 months)
- calls and emails received(12 months)
- number of participants with recurrences at AF rhythm(12 months)
- number of patients who have the AF risk factor within normal parameters(12 months)
- Differences between both groups in intensity, frequency and severity of symptoms related to AF evaluated with the validated ASTA questionnaire(12 months)
- number of participants with re-hospitalisation or emergency room visits for cardiovascular cause(12 months)
