Abstract

Current evidence base for atrial fibrillation (AF) screening is insufficient. An important finding in the STROKESTOP study was that non-participants had significantly worse outcomes. In a group of potentially non-participants feasibility of opportunistic screening in a domiciliary setting with municipality preventive home visits to citizens ≥75 years was investigated. Handheld ECG device was used by trained municipality caregivers followed by cardiologist assessment. Eighty-five percent consented to being screened, and seven of 477 screened were found with AF. Opportunistic screening in preventive home visits had a high participation rate and was feasible. Randomized trials are needed before making any firm conclusions.

房颤在家庭环境中筛查的可行性:在城市预防性家访中机会性的一次性筛查。

目前心房颤动(AF)筛查的证据基础不足。STROKESTOP研究的一个重要发现是，非参与者的结果明显更差。在一组潜在的非参与者中，研究了在住家环境中对年龄≥75岁的公民进行预防性家访的机会性筛查的可行性。手持式心电图设备由训练有素的市政护理人员使用，随后由心脏病专家评估。85%的人同意接受筛查，在接受筛查的477人中，有7人被发现患有房颤。预防性家访中的机会性筛查参与率高，可行。在得出任何确定的结论之前，需要进行随机试验。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
