Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter episodes. An abnormal electrocardiogram can mean many things. AV blocks – 2nd degree and 3rd degree atrioventricular blocks.

DAIC

AFib Facts and Impacts Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting 2% of individuals worldwide. Before the procedure, patients should have an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to check the heart’s rhythm and function.

Atrial fibrillation? Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia? Don't look at computer read until AFTER you interpret!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A deep neural network for 12-lead electrocardiogram interpretation outperforms a conventional algorithm, and its physician over-read, in the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. AFib is the irregularly irregular rhythm that is most commonly confused with MAT — and , AFib is much, much, much more common than true MAT. Poon et al.
