The Lead Episode 127 (IH): A Discussion of Remote Screening for Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: The AMALFI Randomized Clinical Trial, LIVE at HRX 2025 (IH)
Description

Join host and HRS Digital Education Committee Member Melissa Middeldorp, MPH, PhD and her guests Rod Passman, MD, FHRS, and Emma Svenberg, MD, PhD, live at HRX 2025.

In this episode, they explore the AMALFI Randomized Clinical Trial, which evaluated whether remote, wearable-based screening can effectively detect asymptomatic atrial fibrillation in high-risk adults. The discussion breaks down the study design, key findings, and implications for population-level AF screening strategies. It also examines how emerging digital health tools may integrate into routine cardiovascular prevention. 

Learning Objectives
  • Describe the design, patient population, and primary outcomes of the AMALFI Randomized Clinical Trial.

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of remote wearable monitoring compared with usual care for detecting asymptomatic atrial fibrillation.

  • Discuss the potential clinical and health-system implications of implementing large-scale remote AF screening in high-risk populations.
