Expression of Interest in use of AliveCor Kardia device to detect Atrial Fibrillation

East Midlands Academic Health Science Network, East Midlands Clinical Network and other partner organisations have joined forces to implement the atrial fibrillation Advance Programme to work with CCGs and GP practices in East Midlands to improve the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation. As part of this programme, if you GP practice is interested, we will provide you with the AliveCor Kardia device which will support you in detecting patients with atrial fibrillation.


Completing this form should take around 10 minutes. You will need to provide the following baseline practice figures on AF diagnosis and management as of end of December 2017:

  • The total population of your practice
  • Number of patients diagnosed with AF and the number of patients with AF with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2 or more (at high risk of stroke)
  • Number of patients with AF with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2 or more who are currently treated with anti-coagulation drug therapy

If your practice would like to participate please complete this expression of interest form before the deadline agreed with your CCG. For any queries please contact Guy Wood, guy.wood@nottingham.ac.uk or on 07450634232

Availability within the GP practice of phones or tablets to support use the AliveCor Kardia device

To use the AliveCor Kardia device it has to be attached or linked to an android phone or tablet or iPhone or iPad tablet. A list of compatible Apple & Android phones and tablets is available via this link https://store.alivecor.com/#compatibility

How does your practice intend to use the devices?

Plans for use of AliveCor Kardia devices
The GP practice plans to target use of the AliveCor Kardia devices to detect AF in the following ways:

Opportunistic screening during routine consultations(*)
Invalid Input

During Flu Clinics to be held this year (2017-18) (*)
Invalid Input

During NHS health checks(*)
Invalid Input

Hypertension Annual Review Clinics(*)
Invalid Input

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea patients (*)
Invalid Input

Heart Failure patients(*)
Invalid Input

Annual Review of patients with long term conditions including Stroke, CVD, IHD, PAD, COPD(*)
Invalid Input

Annual review of patients with diabetes(*)
Invalid Input

BMI >40(*)
Invalid Input

Loan of device to patients with palpitations to screen for AF(*)
Invalid Input

Other (please state):
Invalid Input

Evidence summary: 1) Age is the biggest non-modifiable risk factor for AF (AF prevalence roughly doubles with each successive decade of life after 65); 2) Hypertension is the commonest modifiable risk factor for AF in a western population, 3) Obstructive sleep apnoea patients have a 7 fold lifetime increase risk of AF

AF Toolkit

We have developed resources to support practices in implementing the AliveCor Kardia device including protocol, GP surgery poster and patient information. You can access these resources by visiting http://emahsn.org.uk/atrial-fibrillation/af-toolkit/
 

Practice Agreement to implement AliveCor Kardia device and provide information on outcomes


The practice agrees to implement the AliveCor Kardia device as outlined
The practice agrees to support evaluation of the outcomes of using the AliveCor Kardia devices by providing the following information to East Midlands Academic Health Science Network: (practices can easily get this information by running GraspAF report)
  • Number of AF patients: 1) diagnosed with atrial fibrillation; 2) AF patients at high risk of a stroke; 3)AF patients at high risk of stroke on anticoagulation treatment
  • Quarterly information as follows: baseline data as at end of March 2018 followed by quarterly at end of June 2018, September 2018, December 2018 and March 2019.

The practice agrees to return the Kardia mobile ECG devices to EMAHSN if they are not being adequately used
