Validity of daily self-pulse palpation for atrial fibrillation screening in patients 65 years and older: A cross-sectional study.
<h4>Background</h4>The European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend (Class IA) single-time-point screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) using pulse palpation. The role of pulse palpation for AF detection has not been validated against electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. We aimed t...
