Overview
The goal of this randomized trial is to compare the diagnostic yield of a screen-like early diagnosis strategy to usual primary care to detect coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), and/or valvular heart disease (VHD) in community people aged 50-80 years who participate in the Utrecht Health Project. The diagnosis strategy consists of a questionnaire with questions related to symptoms suggestive of CAD, AF or HF, a focused physical examination, laboratory testing, electrocardiography, and echocardiography.
