PRO-AF 52: Monthly Primary-Care 12-Lead ECG Screening for Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Adults Aged ≥65 Years

Sponsor: Kotyora Family Medicine Health Management and Education Association

Summary

This prospective, single-arm study will evaluate the feasibility and yield of monthly, in-clinic 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) screening performed at affiliated Family Health Centers (Aile Sağlığı Merkezleri; ASMs) in Ordu, Türkiye, among community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years without a prior diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Each participant will be followed for 12 months (12 visits). New AF will be confirmed on ASM-acquired 12-lead ECG and managed by the tertiary Cardiology Department according to contemporary guidelines, including initiation of oral anticoagulation (OAC) when indicated. Outcomes include incident AF detection, OAC initiation and adherence, and ischemic/hemorrhagic clinical events.
