The AFFECT-EU

“DIGITAL, RISK-BASED SCREENING FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY” project is an EU-funded consortium including 25 partner from academia and industry. AFFECT-EU`s major goal is the development of a risk-based, accurate, and ready for implementation atrial fibrillation screening algorithm, using digital devices, for early AF detection in the community. AFFECT-EU will fill in the AF screening knowledge gaps by integrating information from independent studies entering the project. These data will be used to implement a risk-based AF screening approach and to provide evidence on the superiority of AF screening using a robust community screening strategy for reducing AF-related morbidity and mortality.
