How is atrial fibrillation detected in everyday healthcare? Results of a  Dutch cohort study
CONCLUSION: Diagnosing AF is a multidisciplinary process. The irregular heartbeat was most often detected by the GP, but cardiologists diagnosed most cases. One-third of all newly diagnosed AF was silent.PMID:36048351 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-022-01719-2

Opportunistic screening versus usual care for diagnosing atrial fibrillation in general practice: a cluster randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Opportunistic screening with a single-lead ECG at the discretion of the GP did not result in a higher yield of newly detected cases of AF in patients aged ≥65 years in the community than usual care. For higher participation rates in future studies, more rigorous screening methods are needed. PMID: 31988084 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
