An example of specialty teams involved in an AF CoE and their tasks related to minimizing risk of AF-related thromboembolism through both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches and treatment-related bleeding. GI = gastrointestinal. A similar approach can be developed for other AF-related adverse outcomes such as heart failure.
