Abstract
Study Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia; and often, first diagnosed in the emergency department (ED). AF increases the risk of stroke, which can be reduced by 64% if prescribed anticoagulation (OAC) in appropriate at-risk patients. An ED evaluation is a teaching moment that can change the trajectory of care for patients, however, stroke prophylaxis has not been well-appreciated in the ED. The ED is a prime target for initiating stroke prophylaxis with the use of clinical decision support tools to guide shared-decision making.
