Screening for atrial fibrillation with electrocardiography: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The objective of this study was to review the evidence on screening for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation with electrocardiography (ECG) and stroke prevention treatment in asymptomatic adults 65 years or older to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force. The authors concluded that although screening with ECG can detect previously unknown cases of atrial fibrillation, it has not been shown to detect more cases than screening focused on pulse palpation.
