Figure 3. Workflow when there is a suspicion of AF during consumer-led AF screening.

Figure 3.

Consumer-initiated ECG recordings suggesting possible AF always require confirmation by a healthcare professional experienced in ECG reading, while suspicion of AF based on photoplethysmography must be confirmed with an ECG. If AF is confirmed, an integrated care approach, including appropriate anticoagulation, risk factor modification, and treatment of underlying cardiovascular co-morbidities, should be undertaken to reduce complications.
