Sponsor's own description
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major treatable risk factor for stroke, but it may be hard to detect because it is frequently silent and intermittent. New ambulatory cardiac monitoring technologies have the potential to improve early detection of AF. This trial investigates AF screening in primary care patients using the ZIO XT Patch, a wearable adhesive patch monitor that provides continuous ECG recording for up to 14 days, in addition to the WatchBP home blood pressure monitor that has built-in AF screening capability.
