SAFE-W
Brief Summary:
Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Women SAFE-W is a pilot study evaluating the prevalence of atrial fibrillation Afib in a rapidly aging segment of the population Studies have shown that women with Afib are more likely to be symptomatic have increased mortality from stroke resulting from Afib and are less likely to receive treatment for Afib University of Maryland Department of Neurology and Vascular Neurology are recruiting women older than 70 years of age to participate in the study
Detailed Description:
Atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat is seen in 13rd of patients that present with stroke Atrial fibrillation is being increasingly seen in women older than 70 as women are likely to live longer Women are more likely to die from atrial fibrillation related stroke and are more likely to have symptoms from uncontrolled atrial fibrillation They are also less likely to be treated with blood thinners to prevent stroke This section of the population has been underrepresented in other studies on atrial fibrillation and the aim of this study is to proactively screen women older than 70 who are at risk for atrial fibrillation by using a wearable cardiac monitor
