Abstract
In recent years, the development and use of various devices for the screening of atrial fibrillation (AF) have significantly increased. Such devices include 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmography systems, and single-lead ECG and ECG patches. This review outlines several studies that have focused on the feasibility and efficacy of such devices for AF screening, and summarizes the risks and benefits involved in the initiation of anticoagulant therapy after early detection of AF. We also describe several ongoing trials on unresolved issues associated with AF screening. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive summary of the current state of AF screening and its implications for patient care.

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine is an international medical journal published in English by the Korean Association of Internal Medicine. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original articles, reviews, and editorials on all aspects of medicine, including clinical investigations and basic research. Both human and experimental animal studies are welcome, as are new findings on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Case reports will be published only in exceptional circumstances, when they illustrate a rare occurrence of clinical importance. Letters to the editor are encouraged for specific comments on published articles and general viewpoints.
