The AMALFI AF Screening Trial-📈 Atrial Fibrillation Unmasked: A Modest Win for Mailed Monitors

📢 Just read the #AMALFI trial in JAMA 📰 — a landmark remote RCT of AF screening using 14-day ECG patches mailed to older adults at stroke risk 📦🫀. At 2.5 years, the patch group had a modestly higher AF detection rate (6.8% vs 5.4%, p=0.03) and increased anticoagulation use 💊🧠. Stroke rates were similar ⚖️.   🎯 Key takeaway: Remote, mail-based AF screening is feasible and nudges diagnosis rates — but will it move the needle on outcomes?   #AFib #StrokePrevention #RemoteMonitoring #ECG #Cardiology #RCT #JAMA #DigitalHealth #Geriatrics 🧓📉
