atrial fibrillation is one of the most dangerous heart rhythm disorders. The aim of this study was to identify and assess the prevalence of AF in the population by remote single-lead electrocardiography (ECG) in urban and rural outpatient facilities, to determine the risk factors (FR) for the development of brain complications on the CHA2DS2-VASc scale. In the study a single-lead ECG monitor CardioQVARK was used to detect AF. Among 1985 ECG records 60 (3%) AF events were determined. For 22 (36.6%) patients AF was detected for the first time, and in 38 (63.3%) cases AF already had a history. The CHA2DS2VASc scale showed that 11 (18.3%) people had an intermediate risk of stroke development, 49 (81.6%) people exceeded the index of 2 or more by the number of points, which requires the mandatory administration of anticoagulant drugs. The AF treatment standards (n=38) were observed in 31 cases (81.5%). 7 patients (18.4%) did not take the recommended therapy regularly. Diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias by means of single-lead ECG allows to identify AF and determine the development of THROMBOEMBOLIC complications in patients.
