Should atrial fibrillation screening be extended to the general population?

In this structured expert debate, Dr Laurent Fiorina (Cardiovascular Institute Paris-Sud, Massy, FR) argues the case for universal AF screening, while Dr Sandrine Venier (CHU Grenoble, Grenoble, FR) takes the floor against. With the proliferation of wearable technology, opportunistic screening programmes, and mounting epidemiological data on undetected AF, the debate has never been more pressing — or more nuanced. Moderated by Dr Martin Eichenlaub (University Heart Centre Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, DE), the discussion cuts to the heart of what the evidence actually supports, where the uncertainties lie, and what implementation would mean in practice.
