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.

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 ...

Philadelphia, October 12, 2022 – Extended cardiac monitoring in patients and the use of implantable cardiovascular electronic devices can increase detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the ...

A take-home wearable ECG could be key in detecting undiagnosed atrial fibrillation, according to a new study published in JAMA this morning. Researchers from The Scripps Research Institute used the ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The AMALFI trial evaluated a completely remote approach to atrial fibrillation screening. Remote screening with ...

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 ...

Irregular heartbeats that put people at higher risk of stroke are more common than patients and doctors might think, according to a report in a recent issue of Circulation, which is published by the ...

Researchers have conducted a study where they embedded electrocardiogram sensors in the handles of shopping carts to identify people with atrial fibrillation. In a new study carried out by researchers ...

Device-detected atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) are atrial arrhythmias detected by implanted cardiac devices. AHREs resemble atrial fibrillation but are rare and brief. Whether the occurrence of ...
