HeartBeam’s Artificial Intelligence Algorithm Combined with Vectorcardiography (VCG) Outperforms Expert Cardiologists in Detecting Arrhythmias

DAIC

a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care through the power of personalized insights, today announced new study data demonstrating that HeartBeam AI combined with vectorcardiography (VCG) outperformed an expert panel of heart rhythm cardiologists in detecting atrial flutter. The data was presented by Joshua M.

The data was presented by Vivek Reddy , MD, Director of Cardiac Arrhythmia Services at The Mount Sinai Hospital , during the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) conference in Berlin, Germany. for single-lead ECG) without sacrificing the ability to identify those individuals without atrial flutter (specificity of 98.7%

Syncope while on a treadmill

To me, it was clearly atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrial flutter. The waves look like atrial flutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex. Reverted to atrial fibrillation with RVR while in the hospital 3 times and needed cardioversion.

Colchicine to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Inflammation may promote atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. Colchicine did not prevent atrial arrhythmia recurrence at 2 weeks (31% versus 32%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.98 [95% CI, 0.59–1.61];P=0.92) 2.02];P=0.89).

Wide-complex tachycardia: VT, aberrant, or "other?"

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Instead, the rate of 150, plus the history of AF, suggested atrial flutter. A close inspection of lead II showed P or flutter waves at a rate of about 300 bpm, also supporting atrial flutter. There appear to be flutter waves at a rate of 300. Flecainide encourages new atrial flutter.

Care for Atrial Fibrillation and Outcomes in Rural Versus Urban Communities in the United States: A Systematic and Narrative Review

Journal of the American Heart Association

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. PubMed was queried for entries on AF and rurality: (atrial fibrillation OR atrial flutter) AND (rural OR urban OR rurality OR metro OR metropolitan) AND (united states OR US OR U.S.)

A fascinating electrophysiology case. What is this wide complex tachycardia, and how best to manage it?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrial flutter. Also, lead I could give the initial impression of showing flutter waves. On her 5th hospital day — she was given Amiodarone, which successfully converted the rhythm.
