AFib was detected early with artificial intelligence and electrocardiogram information gathered by wearable devices. Wearable tech uses AI to detect cardiac arrhythmia 30 minutes before onset Skip ...
Atrial fibrillation: Irregular impulses reaching AV node, only some being transmitted. The following types of supraventricular tachycardias are more precisely classified by their specific site of origin. While each belongs to the broad classification of SVT, the specific term/diagnosis is preferred when possible: Sinoatrial origin: [23]
