New research explains how low levels of the electrolyte sodium in the blood can disrupt the timing of the heartbeat in ...

In a major development, researchers have found compelling new evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly ...

What is arrhythmia and what are the symptoms? A doctor explains - A doctor explains arrhythmia as the NHS rolls out a DIY ...

In this paper we present the design of a low-power on-chip sensor signal processing system which analyzes electrocardiogram (ECG) data for signs of atrial fibrillation. By optimizing an artificial ...

This model could be clinically useful, and serves to enhance knowledge on underlying mechanisms causing progression of atrial fibrillation. In combination with extensive phenotyping, our prediction ...

Besides ECG use, AF may be detected using ambulatory blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters or wearables, as well as pulse palpitation and heart auscultation.

Background Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who had ischaemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack (IS/TIA) is recommended. We aimed to compare external loop recording (ELR) against ...

Christian T. Ruff, MD, MPH, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, discusses new data comparing abelacimab with rivaroxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation presented at the American College of ...

The Takeaway Atrial fibrillation is a common issue for people with ATTR-CM because amyloid proteins build up in the heart and interfere with its ability to pump blood.
