Low Workload Concept for the Detection of Silent Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Atrial Fibrillation Burden in Patients At High Risk of AF and Stroke

Patient is asked to do the first recording at hospital to test the device and then preferably twice daily for 1 minute period of time during the 3-month study period.

The Emfit bed sensor will be used during the index hospitalization and in home-based monitoring after hospital discharge up to 3 months.

Data collection with PDL is continued during initial hospitalization in the intervention group where the gold standard ECG is obtained and data can be used in algorithm development but will not be used to monitor treatment or for diagnosis.

The patch-holter will be used during the index hospitalization and also in home if the home-based monitoring devices are signalling of a possible AF and it is not detected in the consequent ECG.
