Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates whether a patient-led atrial fibrillation (AF) screening program using handheld ECG devices, coordinated with remote clinician monitoring, is feasible and effective for diagnosing AF in older adults (75+ years) in Australia.
  • The trial randomly assigns 200 community-dwelling seniors to either participate in the monitoring program or receive usual care, with the main focus on discovering the AF detection rate and measuring patient satisfaction.
  • Outcomes will include AF detection success, anticoagulant management, patient engagement, and general feedback, aiming to determine if this remote, patient-driven approach can improve AF diagnosis and management in the elderly.

@AmiBhattMD @ACCinTouch @escardio @india_csi @daniel_kraft @ValaAfshar I think I did a really quick email intro related to Jacki and the Aidar/BARDA study (but probably didn't give you enough background info), but Sydney's Kam Wong has a really cool community led Afib screening using a handheld 1-lead EKG - @jmirpub https://t.co/ziMQY6uyS0

Early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation allows therapy to reduce stroke risk. #WARC has implemented a patient-led #MassAF Screening integrated with clinician-coordinated central monitoring trial.
