Official title
Screening for Atrial Fibrillation With Self Pulse Monitoring in Patients at Increased Risk of Stroke
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of self-pulse monitoring in detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) in adult patients at increased risk of stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is self-screening an effective modality for diagnosis of AF? * Are there clinical differences and outcomes for patients who self-screen? Eligible participants will be randomized to either the intervention group or control group. The control group will continue with usual standard of care. Participants randomized to the intervention group will be asked to: * View an online educational video to teach them the appropriate way to manually check their pulse for irregularities. * Manually check their pulse for 30 seconds twice daily for 14 days. * Patients who screen positive for irregularities will be sent a 14-day wearable cardiac monitor to assess for underlying arrhythmias. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the control group to see if there are clinical differences and outcomes.
