Journal Article
Orchard, J., Freedman, S. B., Lowres, N., Peiris, D., & Neubeck, L. (2014). iPhone ECG screening by practice nurses and receptionists for atrial fibrillation in general practice: the GP-SEARCH qualitative pilot study. Australian Family Physician, 43(5), 315-319

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often asymptomatic and substantially increases stroke risk. A single-lead iPhone electrocardiograph (iECG) with a validated AF algorithm could make systematic AF screening feasible in general practice.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia affecting 1–2% of the population; the prevalence of atrial fibrillation increases with ageing. The condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality, as well as reduced healt... Read More about Health-related quality of life in atrial fibrillation patients over 65 years: A review.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes a third of all strokes, but often goes undetected before stroke. Identification of unknown AF in the community and subsequent anti-thrombotic treatment could reduce stroke burden. We investigated community screening fo...
