Evaluation of atrial fibrillation using wearable device signals and home blood pressure data in the Michigan Predictive Activity & Clinical Trajectories in Health (MIPACT) Study: A Subgroup Analysis (MIPACT-AFib)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background The rising adoption of wearable technology increases the potential to identify arrhythmias. Those with arrhythmias or non-diagnostic EKGs were sent 7-day monitors. The EHR was reviewed after 3 years to determine if participants developed arrhythmias. Mean age was 50.5 (SD years, and 46 (53.3%) were female.
