ARENA aims to inform patients about the symptoms and the risks of atrial fibrilation.~The study design includes three study arms:~ARENA Intervention:~This project will examine the effectiveness of population education and other measures to provide care for patients with atrial fibrillation.~In the end of the control phase (1 year recruitment of approximately 10,000 patients), there will be a wide publicity, informing about the disease.~ARENA Medication:~ARENA records the patient's complete medication at all survey times (up to two weeks after recruitment and follow up). This allows an accurate assessment of interactions between individual substances.~In addition, attempts are being made to determine drug concentrations of anticoagulants directly by the blood of the patient. Therefore, patients are provided with kits, which they can use to apply a drop of blood from your fingertip to a filter paper. The aim is to examine the patient's adherence and to analyze whether there are any complications.~ARENA Migration:~The Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar is characterized by a high proportion of people with a Turkish migration background. ARENA migration aims to examine whether a targeted population education can improve the care of this patient group.
