The AMALFI trial investigated whether atrial fibrillation (AF) detection rates would be increased with a screening approach that involved older patients at moderate-to-high stroke risk wearing an ECG ...
AFNET 4 trial revealed: A low AF burden below 6% in the first year of early rhythm control therapy was associated with low ...
Whether such screening reduces the risk of stroke and other hard clinical endpoints remains to be seen, say investigators.
Remote screening for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation through a patch-based continuous ambulatory ECG monitor could help ...
A mail-based atrial fibrillation (AF) screening programme with ECG-patch monitoring led to a modest long-term increase in AF diagnosis and anticoagulation exposure in older patients at ...
In recent years, there has been a surge of research focused on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to ...
As an academic cardiologist, I take a deep, evidence-based look at the Apple Watch’s ECG function. Is it just a cool feature, or can it actually detect life-threatening conditions and improve outcomes ...
An analysis of seismic waves propagating through Mars finds evidence that the planet has a small, solid inner core, which challenges existing planetary models.
Radiofrequency-based ablation (RFA) is a widely accepted treatment for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation; however, pulsed field ablation (PFA) may have advantages over RFA. The BEAT-PAROX-AF trial ...
This paper first reviews the implementation literature of the past fifteen years, with particular emphasis on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' approaches. It ...
