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 ...

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 ...

This ECG shows atrial fibrillation with an uncontrolled ventricular rate. There are two QRS complexes that become wide in a right bundle branch block pattern. This can occur at fast heart rates when ...

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 ...

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 ...

This week the FDA has approved a new smartphone ECG device that is capable of detecting three heart arrhythmias takes the form of the AliveCor KardiaMobile. Designed to detect Atrial Fibrillation ...

MADRID — A simple home-based screening strategy that involved wearing an ECG patch for 14 days increased the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and associated use of anticoagulants in patients at ...

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, ...

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 ...

Lead-I electrocardiogram (ECG) devices can be used in primary care to help detect atrial fibrillation in people presenting with signs or symptoms of the condition, who have an irregular pulse on ...
