Abstract

Integrated care is an emerging approach to manage patients with chronic complex conditions, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). The current international practice guidelines recommend an integrated care approach in AF, which consists of four fundamentals being patient involvement, a multidisciplinary team approach, the use of technology, and comprehensive management focussing on the treatment of AF, prevention of thromboembolic complications, and the management of co-morbid conditions, cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle modification. Despite the guideline recommendations, the term integrated care is being used inconsistently within the current available literature. This publication aims to contribute to the clarification of the integrate AF care concept and the consequent appropriate use in clinical practice and research, whilst awaiting an upcoming update of international practice guidelines.
心房颤动的综合护理——我们真的在综合吗?
综合护理是一种新兴的方法来管理慢性复杂疾病的患者,如心房颤动(AF)。目前的国际实践指南推荐房颤的综合护理方法,包括四个基本原则:患者参与、多学科团队方法、技术的使用、以房颤治疗为重点的综合管理、血栓栓塞并发症的预防、合并症的管理、心血管危险因素和生活方式的改变。尽管有指南建议,但在目前可用的文献中,综合护理一词的使用并不一致。本出版物旨在澄清综合房颤护理概念,并在临床实践和研究中适当使用,同时等待即将更新的国际实践指南。
