Official Title: Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Cancer: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Brief Summary:
Patients with cancer have a higher incidence of AF but despite the higher incidence of AF in the cancer population, there are no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for AF screening in this population.RCTs of AF screening in the general population have shown that screening can effectively detect AF earlier, and helps to identify candidates for appropriate anticoagulation that may lead to improvement in clinical outcomes.
