Atrial Fibrillation
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this project is to identify a variable that discerns patients who are interested in their disease (atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter) from patients who show no interest and furthermore test this theory in a questionnaire survey. This should help distinguish between patients who are interested in shared decision making and patients who are not (further projects planned).
