Continuous ECG monitoring using the Norwegian produced ECG247 sensor will be performed for 5-7 days. Single lead ECG data is sent to a cloudbased server intermittently. The system stores information of ECG quality and is evaluated by trained algorithms which classify arrhythmias based on current criteria. All ECG recordings will be reviewed by a group of trained and experienced study nurses and physicians. In the event of clinically relevant arrhythmias, participants will be contacted as soon as possible and receive advice on follow-up with their general practitioner.

Individuals with AF in the intervention group will be offered anticoagulation therapy in accordance with current guidelines.\n\nThe intervention group and the control group will be compared with regards to incident stroke and death within a 6-year follow-up period.
