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 ...

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 ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model has been found to identify patients with intermittent atrial fibrillation even when performed during normal rhythm using a quick and non-invasive 10 second test, ...

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.

Adults with atrial fibrillation with overweight or obesity were less likely to experience recurrent atrial arrhythmia when ...

A multicenter randomized clinical trial found that moderate caffeinated coffee intake after cardioversion significantly lowered the recurrence of atrial fibrillation or flutter compared with ...

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 ...

With heart rate monitors now standard in smartwatches and fitness trackers, electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG) have rapidly become a common feature in health wearables. The technology aims to assist ...
