Our group includes cardiologists (general and EP), stroke neurologists, geriatricians, general practitioners, epidemiologists and health economists, nurses, pharmacists physiotherapists and other allied health professionals, and patient advocates and health administrators. Our members include many of the best known researchers in atrial fibrillation alongside a number of early career researchers working on studies related to AF screening, or with a strong interest in AF screening. A full list is shown below.
Our members come from 40 countries including: Europe/UK Asia, North, South & Central America, Middle East, Africa, and Oceania.
