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 ...

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, ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) may be an aid to interpreting ECG results, helping healthcare staff to diagnose diseases that affect the heart. Researchers at Uppsala University and heart specialists in ...

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 ...

The rhythm is irregularly irregular, with an average rate of 90 beats/min. There is no evidence of any organized atrial activity. Hence, the underlying rhythm is atrial fibrillation. There are two QRS ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) model designed by Scripps Research scientists could help clinicians better screen patients for atrial fibrillation (or AFib) - an irregular, fast heartbeat that is ...

Explore the latest advancements in heart screening with AI models that enhance ECG interpretation for better patient outcomes ...

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 ...

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 ...

The committee recommended further research to determine if using the lead‑I electrocardiogram (ECG) devices in primary care for people with signs or symptoms of atrial fibrillation, and an irregular ...
