Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation screening with a smartphone device and iECG application

Trial purpose

Question: Can atrial fibrillation (AF) cases in patients ≥ 65 years be easily detected in a primary healthcare
environment using a smartphone device and iECG application as an opportunistic screening tool?
Objectives:
Detection of AF through cardiac rhythm abnormalities in patients ≥65 years old in an opportunistic screening
program using a smartphone device/application
1. Define the predictable value of the smartphone device
with electrocardiogram (ECG) confirmation to detect AF
in patients 65 years and older
2. Correlate screened patients cardiovascular risk profile
and those that register cardiac rhythm irregularities for a
better description of the general characteristics of
Colombian population

Secondary Outcome

  • Number of patients in whom abnormal cardiac rhythm was detected with screening device and AF was confirmed with ECG
    Predictive value tests - Positive: Number of patients screened in whom AF was confirmed with ECG/ Number of patients screened in whom the screening device detect an abnormal rhythm - Negative: Number of patients screened in whom AF was discarded with ECG/ Number of patients screened in whom the screening device detect an abnormal rhythm
