1.5 million atrial fibrillation cases may be undiagnosed in US

1.5 million atrial fibrillation cases may be undiagnosed in US

An analysis of five U.S. medical claims databases suggests as many as 23% of 5.6 million to 6.6 million presumptive atrial fibrillation cases are undiagnosed, with many undiagnosed patients likely eligible for oral anticoagulant treatment.
