Trial summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a genetic risk score can help identify undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults who may have it. AF is an irregular heartbeat that raises the risk of stroke if not treated early. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Development of an Atrial Fibrillation Prediction Model Using Polygenic Risk Score: A Prospective Cohort Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a genetic risk score can help identify undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults who may have it. AF is an irregular heartbeat that raises the risk of stroke if not treated early.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
Can a polygenic risk score (PRS) - a score based on a person's genes - identify who is more likely to have AF? Does combining PRS with a person's medical history predict AF better than using medical history alone?
Participants will:
Wear a continuous ECG patch for 7 days to record heart rhythm Give a blood sample for genetic testing to calculate their PRS Use a six-lead handheld ECG device (HATIV® P30, VUNO Inc., Seoul, Republic of Korea) to check their own heart rhythm at home once or twice a week for 1 year Visit the clinic 5 times over 1 year
Researchers will use the genetic and clinical information collected to build a scoring system that predicts who is at risk for AF.
Read the detailed description
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, affecting approximately 34 million individuals. While early diagnosis and treatment can significantly reduce the risk of stroke, paroxysmal AF often goes undetected due to its intermittent nature. Current screening guidelines lack clear recommendations on which populations benefit most from AF screening and what screening strategies are optimal.
Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous genetic loci associated with AF susceptibility, and the SNP heritability of AF has been estimated at approximately 22%. A polygenic risk score (PRS) aggregates the effects of thousands of common genetic variants across the genome to estimate an individual's genetic predisposition to AF. Prior studies have demonstrated that PRS can stratify AF risk independently of conventional clinical risk factors, suggesting its potential utility in targeted screening strategies.
Genetic Assessment At enrollment, a blood sample of 5cc is collected for DNA extraction via centrifugation. A SNP array is performed using a commercially available SNP chip kit. The resulting genotype data are used to calculate a weighted PRS for AF based on previously published genome-wide association study results.
ECG Monitoring In addition to standard 12-lead ECG and 7-day continuous ECG patch monitoring performed at enrollment, all participants are provided with a six-lead handheld ECG device (HATIV® P30, VUNO Inc., Seoul, Republic of Korea). Participants perform self-ECG recordings at least once or twice per week and additionally upon symptom onset for 1 year after enrollment.
Prediction Model Development At the end of follow-up, participants are classified into AF-diagnosed and non-AF groups. A scoring system integrating clinical history and PRS will be developed to predict AF occurrence and its predictive performance will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing 7-day continuous ECG patch monitor, Six-lead handheld electrocardiogram device and SNP array genotyping in people with Atrial Fibrillation (AF), run by Seoul St. Mary's Hospital at 5 sites in South Korea.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Young Choi, MD, PhD (82-2-1588-1511, superstar@catholic.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
