atrial fibrillationscreeningstroke prevention

Highlight

This randomized clinical trial investigated remote screening for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) using a patch-based continuous ambulatory ECG monitor mailed to older adults at moderate to high stroke risk. Key findings include a modest increase in AF diagnosis over 2.5 years and higher oral anticoagulation exposure in the intervention group, although no significant difference in stroke occurrence was observed.
