Several factors could be associated with the QoL among patients with AF; however, evidence regarding these factors is still limited and controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the level of QoL and its associated factors among Jordanian patients with AF. Subjects and methods: A case study design was implemented. A sample of 620 participants were recruited from 28 outpatient clinics registered in the Jordan atrial fibrillation registry AF (JoFIB).

Results: The overall AFEQT scores were positively skewed (medi
