STROKESTOP II

Systematic NT-proBNP and ECG Screening for Atrial Fibrillation Among 75 Year Old Subjects in the Region of Stockholm, Sweden

The STROKESTOP II study is a proposed study to determine if the biomarker NT-proBNP together with single-lead ECG can be used as a primary population screening tool for silent atrial fibrillation, and builds on previous results from the STROKESTOP study.

STROKESTOP

Systematic ECG Screening for Atrial Fibrillation Among 75 Year Old Subjects in the Region of Stockholm and Halland, Sweden

The aims of the present study were to define the prevalence of untreated atrial fibrillation (AF) in a systematic screening program using intermittent ECG recordings among 75- to 76-year-old individuals and to study the feasibility of initiating protective oral anticoagulant (OAC) treatment.
