Innovations futures dans la nouvelle détection de la fibrillation auriculaire (FIND-AF) : étude pilote (FIND-AF)

30 septembre 2026 mis à jour par: Prof Christopher Gale, University of Leeds

Future Innovations in Novel Detection for Atrial Fibrillation (FIND-AF) : étude pilote d'un score de risque pour la détection précoce de la fibrillation auriculaire

The purpose of this study is to trial a new intervention - risk-guided AF screening using an EHR-based risk score and remote ECG monitoring process - and to characterise individuals at elevated predicted AF risk.

Description détaillée

This pilot study will use a post-market device within its intended purpose and involve a change in standard care - that is the offer of ECG monitoring for individuals at risk of AF to understand whether this leads to an increase in detection rates of AF, and follow-through prescription of oral anticoagulation.

Starting with the population that are eligible for oral anticoagulation (men with a CHA2DS2VASC ≥ 2 and women with a CHA2DS2VASC ≥ 3), but without AF, this pilot study will use FIND-AF within its intended purpose to predict the absolute risk of AF diagnosis for individuals within the next 6 months. It will be observed whether systematic AF screening leads to higher detection rates of AF in individuals at higher risk for AF than individuals at lower risk for AF.

This will give pilot data for whether systematic screening for AF in individuals at higher AF risk results in an incrementally higher yield of AF detection compared with screening approaches that have been targeted by age and risk of AF-related stroke. If the pilot shows that detection rates for AF are higher in the group at higher AF risk, then it would be suitable to plan a randomised controlled trial to determine whether systematic AF screening guided by AF risk increases detection rates of AF compared with routine care, and whether this is associated with a lower rate of stroke. The detection rates during systematic AF screening in this pilot study for individuals at higher and lower risk can establish power calculations required for a full-scale study and whether the numeric score at which a clinician would implement the intervention can be optimised.

In addition, this pilot study will establish the technical, logistic and administrative feasibility of a full-scale remote AF screening study including issues of recruitment and protocol adherence. It will also inform as to whether individuals diagnosed with AF by systematic AF screening in the community will receive oral anticoagulation interventions in primary care, and thus whether treatment of screen-detected AF in a full-scale study should be implemented in primary care or in secondary care under cardiology.

Finally this study will offer participants at higher AF risk the opportunity to attend a research clinic to determine whether these individuals have risk factors and comorbidities that could be identified and treated to reduce their subsequent risk of AF and other adverse events. This will establish whether individuals at risk of AF will attend for review, and their burden of modifiable risk factors for AF. This will establish power calculations that would be required for a full-scale study to test the hypothesis that primary prevention of AF is possible through interventions aimed at individuals at risk of AF.

Méthode d'échantillonnage

Échantillon non probabiliste

Population étudiée

Patients aged >30 will be invited to screening in primary care from information present in their electronic health record (EHR) and their FIND-AF score. They will be given Zenicor ECG devices for up to period of 3 week during which they will be asked to record 4 daily ECG recordings.

Those patients who are higher risk for AF based on their FIND-AF score, will be reviewed further for multi-modal phenotyping.

Patient with new AF detected will be managed by their primary care clinicians.
