Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to global morbidity and mortality. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is particularly common among patients with cryptogenic strokes or transient ischemic attacks and has a silent nature. This study aims to develop reliable artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to detect early signs of AF in patients with normal sinus rhythm (NSR) using a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).
