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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In as few as 10 seconds, an artificial intelligence model may pinpoint people with intermittent atrial fibrillation, study findings show. Mayo Clinic researchers developed the device to detect the ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Two studies found that mass screening for atrial fibrillation in older adults does not reduce stroke. In one ...

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 ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can detect signs of existing or emerging A-fib in ECGs that exhibit normal sinus rhythm, Mayo Clinic researchers have found. Their retrospective analysis, published online ...

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — In Friday’s Health headlines, February is heart month, and we’re talking about AFib, portable EKG devices, and how stress this season can be hard on the heart. Yale Medicine ...

Background Previous epidemiological studies demonstrated that premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular ...
