Abstract
In this paper, the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) sought to provide practice guidance on AF screening based on recent evidence, with specific considerations relevant to the Asia-Pacific region. A key recommendation is opportunistic screening for people aged >= 65 years (all countries), with systematic screening to be considered for people aged >= 75 years or who have additional risk factors (all countries).
