Screening For Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: Its Effectiveness And Cost-Effectiveness Of Repeated Ecg In Poland
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. AF increases the risk of ischemic stroke up to 5-fold. Fortunately, this is highly preventable with appropriate oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy. However, many patients with AF, despite the presence of risk factors, are not taking OACs, because they are not aware of the occurrence of arrhythmia prior to stroke. Therefore, it seems that the screening for AF in a broad population aimed at the earliest possible detection of asymptomatic arrhythmias, and the implementation of OAC treatment when necessary, could prevent many strokes.
