“…Sanmartin et al conducted a campaign for information and diagnosis of AF through pulse palpation. Among 1532 participants with a mean age of 73 (SD 7) years, 4.11% (63/1532) were identified with AF, including 1.11% (17/1532) with newly diagnosed AF [ 33 ]. Cooke G et al investigated three studies (2385 patients) that compared pulse palpation with ECG.…”

“…Otra pregunta que se introdujo en el cuestionario del 2017 fue si padecían o estaban en tratamiento de alguna de las siguientes enfermedades: HTA, ICC, DVI, EAP, TNP, DM, IAM, entre otras. El 41,9 % de los encuestados estaba en tratamiento para la HTA, porcentaje ligeramente inferior al de un estudio de características similares (26), donde el 54 % (833) pacientes tenía HTA, aunque en este caso la media de edad era superior, 72,5 años. Estas patologías, junto con la edad, son factores de riesgo de FA, por lo que un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz ayudan a reducir la aparición de esta arritmia (3,27).…”

“…Finally, the last 3 INR (international normalized ratio) readings of only 33% of patients were within the therapeutic range. 4 Regarding the diagnosis of this heart condition, Sanmartín et al 5 analyzed the possible benefits of an information campaign and atrial fibrillation diagnosis. In this program, individuals 65 years were invited by letter and through posters and leaflets to consult a specially trained nurse in 3 health centers and the specialized center of a tertiary referral hospital for 5 consecutive days.…”

“…The authors concluded that, while the benefits of this type of campaign are difficult to estimate in terms of the health education provided, this approach detects few asymptomatic cases of atrial fibrillation in an at-risk Spanish population. 5 During 2014, new data were published on the use of new direct oral anticoagulant drugs in the prevention of embolisms in patients with atrial fibrillation. The ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 study 6 showed how edoxaban, a new once-daily factor Xa inhibitor, has been successfully added to this group of drugs.…”
