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.

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 ...

An artificial intelligence-powered electrocardiograph detected atrial fibrillation in ECGs with 90 percent accuracy, even if heart rhythm had returned to normal by the time of the screening, according ...

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 ...

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 ...
