In recent years, the Atrial Fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway has been proposed as a holistic and structured approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) management [1,2]. The ABC pathway is based on three key elements: (A) Anticoagulation/Avoid stroke, i.e. offering stroke prevention with appropriate oral anticoagulation (OAC) according to the CHA2D2VASc score; (B) Better symptom management, i.e. patient-centred symptom-guided decision on rate or rhythm control; (C) cardiovascular and other comorbidities management with the optimal medical therapy [1].
