SAFER: A Programme of Research to Determine if Intermittent Single-Lead ECG Screening for Atrial Fibrillation Reduces the Risk of Stroke
- Abstract:
- This article describes the SAFER programme that was established to determine whether intermittent screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) with a single-lead ECG reduces risk of stroke and other key outcomes such as death, dementia and cardiovascular disease. The programme comprises feasibility studies, a pilot trial, a randomised controlled trial, qualitative studies and an economic analysis. Recruitment and screening for the trial has been completed and it is anticipated that follow up will finish in 2027.
