BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained heart arrhythmia. However, as many cases are asymptomatic, a large proportion of patients remain undiagnosed until serious complications arise. Efficient, cost-effective detection of t...

BACKGROUND: The global age-adjusted mortality rate related to atrial fibrillation (AF) registered a rapid growth in the last four decades, i.e., from 0.8 to 1.6 and 0.9 to 1.7 per 100,000 for men and women during 1990-2010, respectively. In this cont...
BACKGROUND: The anticoagulant actions of oral direct factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors can be inferred from their observed plasma concentrations; however, the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of different FXa inhibitors have not been compared in clinicall...

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke 5-fold and there is rising interest to determine if AF severity or burden can further risk stratify these patients, particularly for near-term events. Using continuous remote monitorin...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is regarded as the gold standard for AF diagnosis. Highly accurate diagnosis of AF based on 12-lead ECG is valuable and remains challenging. In this pap...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation is frequently asymptomatic and thus underdetected but is associated with stroke, heart failure, and death. Existing screening methods require prolonged monitoring and are limited by cost and low yield. We aimed to deve...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently occurring form of arrhythmia, which induces multiple fatal diseases and impairs the quality of life in patients; thus, the study of the diagnostic methods for detecting AF is clinically important. Here,...
BACKGROUND: Wearable devices have evolved as screening tools for atrial fibrillation (AF). A photoplethysmographic (PPG) AF detection algorithm was developed and applied to a convenient smartphone-based device with good accuracy. However, patients wi...
