Atrial flutter occurs when a “reentrant” circuit is present, causing a repeated loop of electrical activity to depolarize the atrium at a rate of about 250 to 350 beats per minute; the atrial rate in ...

Mayo Clinic researchers trained artificial intelligence to pick up subtle differences in electrocardiograph readings to diagnose atrial fibrillation with 90% accuracy. Artificial intelligence (AI) can ...

Atrial fibrillation is a leading preventable cause of recurrent stroke for which early detection and treatment are critical. However, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is often asymptomatic and likely to ...

When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

The committee discussed the effects of atrial fibrillation. The clinical experts commented that earlier diagnosis of atrial fibrillation may reduce a person's risk of stroke because anticoagulation ...

Atrial tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm where the top chambers in your heart beat quicker than usual. During an atrial tachycardia episode, your heart rate may exceed 100 beats per minute (bpm) ...
