Screening for atrial fibrillation using a risk-prediction model led to a significantly higher incidence among high-risk individuals.
AF incidence was 3.8% in the RPM + invitation group compared to 0.7% in the general + control group, indicating effective detection.
The trial was a randomised control trial comparing two cohorts of individuals aged 65 and older for AF screening effectiveness.
This method may enable better identification of atrial fibrillation cases in older adults, addressing a critical gap in screening strategies.
