age, 54% women, 50% White), finding that a whopping 2M (6.8%) of them had been diagnosed with AFib. AFib rates increased dramatically during the study period, from 4.49% in 2005-2009 to 6.82% in 2015-2019. That increase was greatest among younger patients, males, minorities, and patients with hypertension and diabetes.

CTA and the ACC recognize there is strong potential for cardiac monitoring (through Consumer Cardiovascular Technology Solutions) to help identify and screen patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) and related arrhythmias to alert the right clinical groups for early support and reduction in mortality rates.

Detection of Irregular Heart Rhythms Devices such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit Sense can detect irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation (AFib). These early warnings are critical, as AFib increases the risk of stroke and other heart-related complications.

The ECG in Figure-1 was obtained from a middle-aged man with known hypertension — who presented to the ED ( E mergency D epartment ) for CP ( C hest P ain ) over the preceding 2-3 days. WPW Cardiac arrhythmias ( including AFib ). QUESTIONS: How would YOU interpret the ECG in Figure-1 ? Should you activate the cath lab?

By 1909 ECGs were being used to diagnose cases of arrhythmia; by 1910 to diagnose indicators of a heart attack. The pipeline of algorithms likely to clear regulatory hurdles and enter the cardiac market over the next 12-18 months include those for Pulmonary Hypertension, Cardiac Amyloidosis, Diastolic dysfunction, and Hyperkalaemia.

He was hypertensive and tachycardic, with mildly increased work of breathing. In some cases the ischemia can be seen "through" the flutter waves, whereas in other cases the arrhythmia must be terminated before the ischemia can be clearly distinguished. Here is his initial ECG: What do you think? What will you do for this patient?

Q waves in association with RBBB are usually not seen in anterior leads unless there is pulmonary hypertension or anterior infarction. Other Arrhythmias ( PACs, PVCs, AFib, Bradycardia and AV conduction disorders — potentially lethal VT/VFib ). Sinus Tachycardia ( common in any trauma patient. ). QTc prolongation.
