Is screening for AF worthwhile? Stroke risk in a screened population from the SAFE study
Conclusion. Stroke risk profiles of patients detected via opportunistic and systematic screenings were similar. Data derived from the SAFE study suggest that active screening for AF in patients aged ≥65 years in primary care is a useful screening programme with 78–83% of patients identified eligible for anticoagulation treatment according to the CHADS2 criteria.
