U.S., Feb. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06842147) titled 'Effectiveness of Single-Lead ECG in Detecting New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation' on Feb. 10.
Brief Summary: Background:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia associated with a significantly increased risk of stroke and heart failure. Early detection and appropriate anticoagulation therapy are critical for reducing the risk of stroke in AF patients. However, traditional screening methods, such as pulse palpation and 12-lead ECG, often fail to detect asymptomatic or paroxysmal AF. Newer technologies, such as long-term ECG monitoring, show promise in improving detection rates.
Objective:
This study aims to evaluate the effecti...
