This article has been updated with comments from the study’s corresponding author. New findings from a 2017 study of the Apple Watch’s ECG feature found that it could potentially be used to detect ...

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 ...

Atrial tachycardia occurs when a focus in the atrium outside the AV node fires rapidly causing increased ventricular heart rates. When conducting in a 2:1 ratio like on this ECG, digoxin toxicity ...

New findings from the Apple Heart Study indicate that Apple Watches can identify irregular heartbeats other than atrial fibrillation arrhythmias. Funded by Apple and conducted by researchers from the ...

This ECG does not meet criteria for ventricular tachycardia. The R in lead V2 is larger than the R', however the criteria examine this QRS morphology change in lead V1, not lead V2. The morphology is ...

Background: Only a few algorithms for predicting the site of origin of focal atrial tachycardia (AT) have been reported. We aimed to develop a new and more effective algorithm. Methods: Surface ...

Chicago, IL - A new study suggests that in patients with pacemakers, the rate of stroke associated with otherwise-asymptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmias may be higher than was previously thought. "Among ...

Dr. James Daubert answers the question: 'Finding Cause Of Palpitations With EKG? — -- Question: How does an EKG (electrocardiogram) help in finding out why I have palpitations? Answer :Well, an ...

"AF diagnosis rates across the UK pre-pandemic were already too low. With difficulties in accessing in-person care and increased waiting times, concern is that diagnosis rates have fallen further, ...

We reviewed randomized controlled trials, review articles and clinical practice guidelines to present a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of SVTs (Box 1). We focus on the most common ...
