Detecting atrial fibrillation in the polysomnography-derived electrocardiogram: a software validation study

ConclusionSleep studies provide a valuable source of ECG recordings that can be easily subjected to software-based analysis in order to identify manifest AF and automatically assess the risk of PAF. For optimal evaluability of data, multiple channel ECG tracings are desirable. For assessment of PAF risk, the SRA ® analysis probably excels visual analysis, but sensitivity of both methods is low, reflecting that repeated ECG recording remains essential.
