Opportunistic screening for atrial fibrillation using an iECG device is feasible and acceptable among Aboriginal adults in clinical and community settings.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support iECG screening in ACCHSs; leaves open efficacy and outcome questions for trials.
The iECG device was well accepted within ACCHSs and was feasible to use to screen for AF among Aboriginal patients. Implications for public health: The device can be used in clinical and community settings to screen Aboriginal people for atrial fibrillation to help reduce rates of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
