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.

At times it is difficult to distinguish atrial fibrillation from atrial flutter on the ECG. This example shows coarse "fibrillatory waves" in the setting of atrial fibrillation. This are of varying ...

Atrial fibrillation is a well-known risk factor for stroke that often remains undetected; yet, the benefit of screening of asymptomatic individuals remains unclear. A recent randomized trial ...

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 ...

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 ...

At times it is difficult to distinguish atrial fibrillation from atrial flutter on the ECG. This example shows coarse "fibrillatory waves" in the setting of atrial fibrillation. This are of varying ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model has been found to identify patients with intermittent atrial fibrillation even when performed during normal rhythm using a quick and non-invasive 10 second test, ...

An experimental new necklace, however, could make checking for it a quick and simple process. Developed by a team at the University of Eastern Finland, the necklace features a pendant that ...

Why is it important to monitor your heartbeat regularly if you think you may have Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)? If a doctor or nurse suspects that you may be suffering from atrial fibrillation or AFib, ...
