Screening-Detected Atrial Fibrillation and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Working-Age Adults
AF was detected in 1 of every 2400 screening ECGs among the middle-aged population in Japan, with higher relative risks of ischemic stroke and heart failure, compared with those without AF. These findings highlight the association of screening-detected AF with stroke and heart failure, warranting further study into AF as an early sign of heart failure and optimal cardiovascular risk reduction strategies after AF detection in the general middle-aged population.
