Inflammation, oxidative stress, myocardial injury biomarkers and clinical parameters (longer AF duration, left atrial enlargement, the metabolic syndrome) are factors commonly related to AF recurrence. This study aims to assess the predictive value o...
OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population is 0.5%-1%. As AF is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia that is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality, its timely diagnosis is clinically desirab...
The development of new technology such as wearables that record high-quality single channel ECG, provides an opportunity for ECG screening in a larger population, especially for atrial fibrillation screening. The main goal of this study is to develop...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common sustained chronic cardiac arrhythmia in elderly population, associated with a high mortality and morbidity in stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease, systemic thromboembolism, etc. The early ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a serious cardiovascular disease with the phenomenon of beating irregularly. It is the major cause of variety of heart diseases, such as myocardial infarction. Automatic AF beat detection is still a challenging task which ...
OBJECTIVE: In this paper, a support vector machine (SVM) approach using statistical features, P wave absence, spectrum features, and length-adaptive entropy are presented to classify ECG rhythms as four types: normal rhythm, atrial fibrillation (AF),...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a deep learning system for automated detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in photoplethysmographic (PPG) pulse waveforms.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with increased morality rate, prolonged hospitalization, and reduced long-term survival after surgery. Thus, prediction of POAF is important to assess surgical risk and provide prophy...
