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 ...

A smartphone-based electrocardiogram (ECG) screening accurately detected previously unknown atrial fibrillation in American Indians, and more than half who were diagnosed with the irregular heart ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

At times it is difficult to distinguish atrial fibrillation from atrial flutter on the ECG. This example shows coarse "fibrillatory waves" in the setting of atrial fibrillation. This are of varying ...

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 ...

Some doctors are testing a new device that could make life a bit easier for people with a common heart problem. This has the potential to help a lot of people. Testing is underway to see if a new ...
