Virtual care from a specialty AF clinic provides practical benefits for patients, but they must be weighed against the need for virtual care's fit with patients' needs and problems. The stability and complexity of patients' health needs, their management, and their perceptions of communication effectiveness with providers and clinics must be considered in decisions about appointment modality. Patients' recommendations for future virtual care through use of hybrid models together with systems for data sharing have the potential to optimize fit.
