Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation

In brief

This prospective, multicenter, single-arm study evaluates the effectiveness of a single-lead patch electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder in screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) among community-dwelling elderly individuals aged ≥60 years in China. Participants will undergo 7 days of continuous ECG monitoring, followed by annual follow-up for up to 10 years to assess long-term outcomes including stroke, heart failure, and death.
