Local pharmacies join fight against stroke with quick heart check-ups for seniors
NCT ID NCT07598903
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will see if community pharmacies can effectively screen people aged 65 and older for atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that raises stroke risk. Trained pharmacists will use a small, portable ECG device to record a 30-second heart reading. If the result is abnormal, it is sent to emergency medical services for review and referral to a doctor. The goal is to catch undiagnosed cases early and help prevent strokes.
