Study Summary

This trial will test if Apple Watch can detect early signs of atrial fibrillation, a form of irregular heart rhythm.

Who is the study for?
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.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The REGAL study is testing if the Apple Watch can be used as a long-term monitoring tool to spot early signs of atrial fibrillation—a heart condition that causes irregular heartbeat—by comparing it against traditional detection methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using an Apple Watch for monitoring purposes rather than medication or invasive procedures, there may be minimal side effects related to wearing the device such as skin irritation.
