New algorithm stops the catheter at the right target to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal Cardiovascular Engineering and ...

WORCESTER, Mass. – An algorithm developed by Ki H. Chon, PhD, head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), in partnership with Snehraj Merchant of The ...

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and engenders significant global health care burden. The underlying mechanisms of AF is remained to be revealed and ...

We hypothesized that analysis of serial ECGs could predict new‐onset atrial fibrillation (AF) more accurately than analysis of a single ECG by detecting the subtle cardiac remodeling that occurs ...

Patients with atrial fibrillation or AFib experience chaotic electrical signals in the upper chamber of their heart (atria), which cause an irregular or quivering heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead ...

Some 2,000 people have taken part in a ground-breaking trial to test an algorithm that can help doctors identify people at risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). The trial is evaluating an ...

Achieving CE Mark is a significant achievement as it allows the company to eventually deliver the AliveCor Heart Monitor, AliveECG app with the AF detector and subsequent algorithms going forward ...

AliveCor has received an additional FDA 510(k) clearance, this time for an algorithm that allows its smartphone ECG to detect atrial fibrillation -- an abnormal heart rhythm that isn't always ...

A new algorithm makes it possible for a new heart monitoring system to detect incidents of atrial fibrillation, the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia, far more accurately than previous methods.

A recent study found that time-restricted eating was associated with a reduced risk for CVD among older women with overweight who received cardiotoxic breast cancer treatment. The time-restricted ...
