The 1-channel ECG of the Apple Watch can detect atrial fibrillation that wasn't previously known. But it is also useful after ...

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 ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) model designed by Scripps Research scientists could help clinicians better screen patients for atrial fibrillation (or AFib) - an irregular, fast heartbeat that is ...

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 ...

Smartwatch-based monitoring using both photoplethysmography and ECG could improve detection of new-onset 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 ...

Smartwatches with both PPG and ECG functionality improve the detection of atrial fibrillation in comparison with standard care. Researchers from Amsterdam UMC have analyzed the data from 437 patients ...

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 ...

The lead-I electrocardiogram (ECG) devices were assessed when they were used in addition to 12‑lead ECGs. Clinical experts advised that a 12‑lead ECG would still be used after lead-I ECGs to identify ...
