Atrial fibrillation occurs when action potentials fire very rapidly within the pulmonary veins or atrium in a chaotic manner. The result is a very fast atrial rate — about 400 to 600 beats per minute.
Smartwatches with both PPG and ECG functionality improve the detection of atrial fibrillation in comparison with standard ...
The external assessment group (EAG) did a systematic review to identify evidence on the diagnostic accuracy and clinical effectiveness of using the lead‑I ECG devices to detect atrial fibrillation.
A smartphone-based electrocardiogram (ECG) screening accurately detected previously unknown atrial fibrillation in American Indians, and more than half who were diagnosed with the irregular heart ...
Mayo Clinic researchers trained artificial intelligence to pick up subtle differences in electrocardiograph readings to diagnose atrial fibrillation with 90% accuracy. Artificial intelligence (AI) can ...
Though the trial demonstrates the feasibility of the approach, future research is needed to assess the clinical impact.
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). Its diagnosis can be challenging, ...
Researchers in Canada and Germany conducted the SCREEN-AF trial, a multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial of noninvasive, home-based AF screening interventions in community-dwelling older ...
A new research study shows that artificial intelligence (AI) can detect the signs of an irregular heart rhythm -- atrial fibrillation (AF) -- in an electrocardiogram (EKG), even if the heart is in ...
