April 4, 2019—The goal of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) and the American College of Physicians (ACP) collaborative initiative was to develop a systematic screening and educational program aimed at patients from internal medicine practices to identify undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) and educate participants about the risk of stroke associated with AF. Additional goals included informing patient caregivers about the risks associated with AF as well as facilitating follow-up and treatment as warranted for those patients with screenings indicating possible AF.
