Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Fibrillation Screening in High‐Risk Population: A Cross‐Sectional Study

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Distribution of KAP scores for participants ≤ 65 versus > 65 years. ABSTRACT Objectives Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical arrhythmia. Failure to identify AF leaves patients at a considerably higher risk of disability and death, making its early screening and prevention extremely important. This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude,
