The present study indicates that AF-patients with a lower quality of life at diagnosis were most likely to improve their EHRA score after 12 months. This effect was most prominent in patients ≥65 years of age and patients <75 years of age, compared to patients >65 and ≥75 years, respectively. Future research should focus on further defining characteristics of these age groups to enable the implementation of age-tailored treatment.
