An artificial intelligence-enabled ECG algorithm for the identification of patients with atrial fibrillation during sinus rhythm: a retrospective analysis of outcome prediction
Publication date: Available online 1 August 2019Source: The LancetAuthor(s): Zachi I Attia, Peter A Noseworthy, Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, Samuel J Asirvatham, Abhishek J Deshmukh, Bernard J Gersh, Rickey E Carter, Xiaoxi Yao, Alejandro A Rabinstein, Brad J Erickson, Suraj Kapa, Paul A FriedmanSummaryBackgroundAtrial fibrillation is frequently asymptomatic and thus underdetected but is associated with stroke, heart failure, and death. Existing screening methods require prolonged monitoring and are limited by cost and low yield. We aimed to develop a rapid, inexpensive, point-of-care means of identifying patients with atrial ...

50 year trends in atrial fibrillation prevalence, incidence, risk factors, and mortality in the Framingham Heart Study: a cohort study
Publication date: Available online 7 May 2015 Source:The Lancet Author(s): Renate B Schnabel , Xiaoyan Yin , Philimon Gona , Martin G Larson , Alexa S Beiser , David D McManus , Christopher Newton-Cheh , Steven A Lubitz , Jared W Magnani , Patrick T Ellinor , Sudha Seshadri , Philip A Wolf , Ramachandran S Vasan , Emelia J Benjamin , Daniel Levy Background Comprehensive long-term data on atrial fibrillation trends in men and women are scant. We aimed to provide such data through analysis of the Framingham cohort over 50 years. Methods We investigated trends in incidence, prevalence, and risk factors for atrial fibrillat...
