Cardiac device: Rapid Rhythm
Trial Name: A diagnostic accuracy study comparing the use of the Rapid Rhythm System to 12-Lead ECG to identify atrial fibrillation in over 65s in primary care
Chief Investigator: Professor Pete Bower
Trial Description: A diagnostic, non-randomised, multicentre study
Background: The 12-lead ECG device is currently the gold standard for diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aims to compare existing practices to the Rapid Rhythm Handset, a novel device that hopes to provide a rapid and simple way to perform an ECG.
Main Outcomes: The study will compare the performance of the 12-lead and Rapid Rhythm system in diagnosing AF.
