Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals who've had a specific ECG at Mayo Clinic and are at high risk of undetected atrial fibrillation, based on an AI-ECG score. Men must have a CHA2DS2-VASc2 score of 2 or higher; women need a score of 3 or more. It's not for those already diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, dementia, end-stage kidney disease, history of brain bleeding, or those with certain heart devices.Inclusion Criteria
