RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Using mobile ECG devices to increase detection of atrial fibrillation across a range of settings in south London JF Future Healthcare Journal JO Future Healthc J FD Royal College of Physicians SP 86 OP 89 DO 10.7861/fhj.2019-0033 VO 7 IS 1 A1 Alex Lang A1 Faye Edwards A1 Dominic Norton A1 Laura Semple A1 Helen Williams YR 2020 UL http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/7/1/86.abstract AB The NHS Long Term Plan aims to transform how we tackle cardiovascular disease by improving the detection and treatment of high-risk conditions. One in five strokes are linked to atrial fibrillation (AF) and it is estimated that 500,000 people in the UK have undiagnosed AF. To increase detection of AF, in 2017 NHS England commissioned the Academic Health Science Networks to procure 6,000 mobile electrocardiography (ECG) devices, which were distributed to community settings across the county. The Health Innovation Network as the Academic Health Science Network for south London was responsible for the distribution of approximately 400 mobile ECG devices to a range of settings. A total of 14,835 pulse rhythm checks were performed, detecting 597 people with possible AF. This project provides insight into effectiveness of a wide range of settings in providing opportunistic testing for AF using mobile ECG devices.
