Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Women Older Than 70 Years
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Women (SAFE-W) is a pilot study evaluating the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (Afib) in a rapidly aging segment of the population. Studies have shown that women with Afib are more likely to be symptomatic, have increased mortality from stroke resulting from Afib, and are less likely to receive treatment for Afib. University of Maryland Department of Neurology and Vascular Neurology are recruiting women older than 70 years of age to participate in the study.
