Heart rhythm check for older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a way to help find an irregular heartbeat condition called atrial fibrillation in older adults. It uses simple screening in the community to spot it early, which may reduce the risk of stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You live in the community (not a hospital or care facility).
- You have not been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation before.
- You do not have a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
- You are able to give your own consent to participate.
- You are not already part of another atrial fibrillation screening program.

This trial uses a special long-term heart monitor (one wire) that uses artificial intelligence to find new cases of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. If you're 60 or older and haven't had AF before, this study could help catch it early.
This study tests whether a small, wearable heart patch can help find an irregular heartbeat condition called atrial fibrillation in older adults living in the community. It aims to catch this condition early, which may help prevent serious complications like stroke.
This study follows older adults in rural China who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) to better understand the condition and screen for heart failure. Researchers want to learn more about how these conditions affect people in rural communities.
This study checks for an undetected irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) right in your local pharmacy. It uses a simple, painless 30-second recording to find people who may need follow-up care.
This study tests whether monthly heart checks using a simple ECG (a quick test of your heart's electrical activity) can find a common heart-rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation earlier. You would visit your family health center once a month for 12 months to get the ECG done, no extra procedures or treatments are involved.
This trial tests whether extended monitoring can detect hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who have had a stroke. If found, treatment can help prevent another stroke.
