Systematic ECG monitoring increased the in-hospital rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) detection among stroke survivors, in a new study. However, systematic ECG monitoring did not result in a higher ...

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.

MONTREAL — A miniature electrocardiogram (ECG) device combined with a smartphone spotted more cases of atrial fibrillation (AF) than were later detected by Holter monitoring in a trial of 294 patients ...

MADRID, Spain—The use of a noninvasive ECG patch modestly increases the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) and treatment with anticoagulant therapy among patients at moderate to high risk for ...

Artificial intelligence (AI)-guided screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) based on ECGs can successfully identify patients who are more likely to have the arrhythmia detected on subsequent monitoring ...

A mail-based atrial fibrillation (AF) screening programme with ECG-patch monitoring led to a modest long-term increase in AF diagnosis and anticoagulation exposure in older patients at ...
