AP-519-04 DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATRIAL FIBRILLATION “BEHAVIORAL CHA2DS2-VASC” IN ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY CLINICS

AF etiology, recurrence, and burden are influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors spanning biological, behavioral, and demographic factors. There is increased interest in understanding and measuring behavioral risk factors (e.g., alcohol, sedentariness, smoking) associated with AF, to reduce stroke risk. An efficient measure of lifestyle factors in AF would allow for rapid clinical assessment and appropriate patient education and referral.
