Is it feasible and accurate for trained clinical pharmacists to screen for atrial fibrillation using pulse palpation and single-lead ECG in patients aged ≥65 years attending influenza vaccination clinics?
This protocol outlines a multisite cross-sectional study to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of clinical pharmacists screening for atrial fibrillation in older adults during influenza vaccination clinics.
Veale et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Atrial fibrillation (n=600). Atrial fibrillation screening by clinical pharmacists was evaluated on Feasibility of screening for AF, accuracy of identifying pulse irregularities, and proportion of people identified with AF. This protocol outlines a cross-sectional study aiming to recruit 600 adults aged ≥65 years to evaluate the feasibility of clinical pharmacists screening for atrial fibrillation in primary care.
