The ABC Pathway Applied to Oncology Patients The ABC (AF Better Care) pathway can be used to provide holistic management of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Step A focuses on avoiding stroke via utilization of the CHA2DS2-VASc score and treatment of modifiable bleeding risk factors via the HAS-BLED score. Step B focuses on symptom control in AF and the decision between rate versus rhythm control. Step C focuses on management of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Hb = hemoglobin; INR = international normalized ratio.
