AI-Enhanced ECG Screening Pinpoints Atrial Fibrillation Risk in Older Adults: Key Insights from VITAL-AF Trial

A VITAL-AF trial analysis reveals that combining ECG-based artificial intelligence with clinical risk scores significantly improves atrial fibrillation screening efficiency. The study demonstrates that high-risk individuals benefit most from screening, with those in the top CH-AI risk decile showing a number-needed-to-screen of just 43 per year.
