Systematic Screening With Electrocardiogram for Unknown Atrial Fibrillation in 65 Years Old and Above People in Nursing Home

Systematic Screening With Electrocardiogram for Unknown Atrial Fibrillation in 65 Years Old and Above People in Nursing Home

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia. Some studies shown that systematic screening with electrocardiogram could improve atrial fibrillation detection. No studies are available in nursing home. The goal of this study is to screen atrial fibrillation in patients who live in nursing home.
