Abstract
- In recent years, the development and use of various devices for the screening of atrial fibrillation (AF) have significantly increased. Such devices include 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmography systems, and single-lead ECG and ECG patches. This review outlines several studies that have focused on the feasibility and efficacy of such devices for AF screening, and summarizes the risks and benefits involved in the initiation of anticoagulant therapy after early detection of AF. We also describe several ongoing trials on unresolved issues associated with AF screening. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive summary of the current state of AF screening and its implications for patient care.
