Abstract

BACKGROUND: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia in the world with a prevalence of 1%-2%. AF is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as stroke, heart failure, and coronary artery diseases, making it a leading cause of death. Asymptomatic patients are a common case (30%-40%). This highlights the importance of early diagnosis or screening. Wearable and home devices offer new opportunities in this regard.
