1
Undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases the risk of ischemic stroke, particularly in older populations.
-
2
AI-enabled devices, such as single-lead ECG and photoplethysmography, offer decentralized alternatives to traditional AF screening.
-
3
Nurse-led opportunistic screening for AF is cost-effective and can facilitate earlier initiation of anticoagulant therapy.
-
4
Barriers to widespread adoption of AI-enabled screening include false positives, lack of standardized training, and liability concerns.
-
5
Future strategies should focus on workforce training, data governance, and integrating AI findings into clinical pathways.
