Atrial flutter occurs when a “reentrant” circuit is present, causing a repeated loop of electrical activity to depolarize the atrium at a rate of about 250 to 350 beats per minute; the atrial rate in ...

When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

Researchers in Canada and Germany conducted the SCREEN-AF trial, a multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial of noninvasive, home-based AF screening interventions in community-dwelling older ...

Extended cardiac monitoring in patients and the use of implantable cardiovascular electronic devices can increase detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the devices have limitations including ...

Dr. Hugh Calkins answers the question: 'Atrial Fibrillation vs. Atrial Flutter?' — -- Question: My doctor told me I sometimes have atrial fibrillation and at other times have atrial flutter. What ...

MADRID — A simple home-based screening strategy that involved wearing an ECG patch for 14 days increased the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and associated use of anticoagulants in patients at ...

Madrid, Spain – 29 August 2025: A mail-based atrial fibrillation (AF) screening programme with ECG-patch monitoring led to a modest long-term increase in AF diagnosis and anticoagulation exposure in ...

The external assessment group (EAG) did a systematic review to identify evidence on the diagnostic accuracy and clinical effectiveness of using the lead‑I ECG devices to detect atrial fibrillation.

Atrial tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm where the top chambers in your heart beat quicker than usual. During an atrial tachycardia episode, your heart rate may exceed 100 beats per minute (bpm) ...
