EHRA 2025 - Outcomes from model screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) show the combination of a risk prediction model and long-term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is superior to standard of care in detecting new cases of AF in a high-risk population aged 65 years or older. In the risk prediction model arm, the incidence of AF after six months was significantly higher than the incidence in…
