Implementation of an on-demand app-based heart rate and rhythm monitoring infrastructure for the management of atrial fibrillation through teleconsultation: TeleCheck-AF

Nikki A. H. A. Pluymaekers et al.

Summary: A TeleCheck-AF approach was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to support AF management through teleconsultations. It includes structured teleconsultations, app-based monitoring infrastructure, and comprehensive AF management, aiming to ensure continuity of care and support integrated care. This approach is currently being implemented in various European centers to address the challenges posed by COVID-19.

Monika Gawalko et al.

Summary: The TeleCheck-AF project aimed to maintain care delivery for AF patients during COVID-19 through teleconsultations and heart rate monitoring. Most participating centres were academic with AF outpatient clinics. The inclusion rate was highest during lockdown and decreased after easing restrictions.

Obstructive sleep apnoea testing and management in atrial fibrillation patients: and joint survey by the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) and the Association of Cardiovascular Nurses and Allied Professions (ACNAP)

Lien Desteghe et al.

Summary: OSA is highly prevalent in AF patients and poses challenges in management, with most healthcare practitioners prioritizing OSA-related symptoms as the reason for testing, but only a minority implementing systematic testing methods. Barriers such as lack of collaboration between cardiology and sleep clinics, inadequate skills and knowledge, and financial and personnel shortages hinder the integration of OSA testing and treatment in the management of AF.
