Mass screening for atrial fibrillation using ECG together with heart failure biomarker does not prevent ischaemic stroke or systemic embolism (blood clot) in older adults aged 75-76 years over 5 years ...

An artificial intelligence-powered electrocardiograph detected atrial fibrillation in ECGs with 90 percent accuracy, even if heart rhythm had returned to normal by the time of the screening, according ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Point-of-care screening for atrial fibrillation (A-fib) using a new generation of handheld electrocardiogram (ECG) devices increased the rate of diagnosis in patients 85 and older, but failed to show ...

A study observed how well researchers could interpret ECG data from various wearables, and Apple Watch came out as the most favorable but is no better at detecting atrial fibrillation than others.

The committee discussed the effects of atrial fibrillation. The clinical experts commented that earlier diagnosis of atrial fibrillation may reduce a person's risk of stroke because anticoagulation ...
