Never again, my condition is stable and fully recovered.

My treating doctor informs me that most AF patients need regular follow-up to ensure continued optimal management. Follow-up

may be undertaken in primary care, by specially trained nurses, by cardiologists, or by AF specialists. A specialist should co-

ordinate care and follow-up.

Follow-up should ensure implementation of the management plan, continued engagement of the patient, and therapy adaptation

where needed. A patient’s indication regarding oral anticoagulation medication can change over time.

This is a wrong response that could lead to potentially harmful results to the health.
