Abstract

Background:Delay in seeking treatment for symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a missed opportunity for early treatment that is critical for reducing serious complications of AF such as stroke and heart failure. Delays ranging from a few days to years after symptom onset have been reported. Little is known about the symptom experiences and cognitive behavioral responses that differentiate those who seek treatment early after symptom onset from those who delay treatment-seeking.
