New patches, loop recorders and smartwatches promise to detect hidden fibrillation before the first stroke occurs. However, the randomized AMALFI study presented at ESC Congress 2025 joins a series of high-quality investigations showing a sobering pattern: more technology detects more atrial fibrillation \u2013 but with hardly any reduction in strokes. This article places AMALFI in the context of the evidence and asks why the gap between detection and clinical benefit is so persistent.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"pmpro\"><div class=\"pmpro_card pmpro_content_message\"><div class=\"pmpro_card_content\">Dieser Inhalt ist nur f\u00fcr Benutzer der Gruppe: Medizinische Fachperson zug\u00e4nglich <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/my-account\/packages\/\">Jetzt beitreten<\/a><\/div><div class=\"pmpro_card_actions pmpro_font-medium\">Already a member? <a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/log-in\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmedizinonline.com%2Fen%2Fremote-monitoring-for-atrial-fibrillation-high-detection-low-stroke-prevention%2F\">Log in here<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often asymptomatic, increases stroke risk and can be treated with anticoagulation \u2013 so the logic of screening seems compelling.
