Nurse-led Management of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Implanted Cardiac Devices Cano-Valls, Alba Martínez Momblán, Ma.

(José María) Mont Girbau, Lluís Guasch i Casany, Eduard Fibril·lació auricular Desfibril·ladors cardioversors implantables Fibril·lació ventricular Atrial fibrillation Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators Ventricular fibrillation This report describes the management of atrial fibrillation (AFib) events diagnosed through cardiac implantedelectronic devices in an advanced nurse practitioner-led clinic. AFib events necessitating medical evaluationwere managed with a standardized decision tree and recorded for 1 year. Among 1980 follow-up assessments, 6% experienced AFib events (n ¼ 119), mostly because of de novo AFib (58%), rapid ventricular rate (22%), and symptomatic AFib (20%). Only 11% were referred to the emergency department, and 83% were assessed by the general practitioner in the same month. Advanced nurse practitioners offer prompt AFib event management in patients with cardiac implanted electronic devices, supported by a structured care pathway ensuring timely medical assessment and treatment. 2026-04-09T09:58:21Z 2026-04-09T09:58:21Z 2025-04 2026-04-09T09:58:21Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 1555-4155 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/228744 763373 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/228744 eng Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2025.105362 The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2025, vol. 21, num.4 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2025.105362 cc-by (c) Cano-Valls, Alba et al., 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 9 p. application/pdf Elsevier Inc.
