People who opted out of #AF #screening were making reasoned decisions based on personal circs & on whether the screening seemed necessary, legitimate & useful.

Current research being our @SAFER_Study - watch this space
UK NSC doesn't recommend national screening programme for Atrial Fibrilation (AF):
- uncertainty about significance of different types of AF
- effectiveness of treatment for screen detected AF unknown
- current research underway to answer these Q's

Thank you @PCU_Cambridge for sharing my blog on adversity in running @SAFER_Study . The wave of the pandemic was sink or swim for us, as the closing wall of sound for Beethoven.

Why ‘case finding’ is bad science - @mgtmccartney @felly500, Sam Finnikin, Harriet Hunt, Mike McHugh, @muirgray - we need evidence before implementation, including for atrial fibrillation @SAFER_Study journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

People will wear these watches. We need to find out what AF picked up by these watches mean. AF picked up by a watch worn all the time may not be like the AF we currently pick up @SAFER_Study #af

Given that >10% of those over 75 are now known to have AF (esp men) this is a large population for whom current BP measurement likely to be inaccurate. Prevalence data via @TomPMarshall heart.bmj.com/content/105/1/…
