USPSTF Statement on Screening for Atrial Fibrillation
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 2022
Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 301-951-9203. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.
Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2021.23732?guestAccessKey=60a94451-0efe-4208-b0c9-fe08aaf21924&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=012522
Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation about screening for atrial fibrillation (AF). This statement applies to adults age 50 or older without a diagnosis or symptoms of AF and without a history of transient ischemic attack or stroke. Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and is associated with a substantial increase in the risk of stroke. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this recommendation replaces the 2018 USPSTF recommendation statement on screening for AF with electrocardiogram (ECG). In 2018, the USPSTF concluded that the evidence was insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of using ECG to screen for AF. For the current recommendation statement, the USPSTF expanded its review to include other screening tests in addition to ECG. The USPSTF again concludes that the evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for AF in asymptomatic adults.
