Wearable Technology in Continuous Cardiac Rhythm Assessment

Introduction Cardiovascular diseases, particularly arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia, pose significant health risks worldwide. Early detection and continuous monitoring of cardiac rhythms are essential for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.  Say’s Dr. Ian Weisberg,  traditional methods, such as Holter monitors and event recorders, provide valuable but often short-term insights into heart […]

Digital Biomarkers for Early Detection of Atrial Fibrillation Progression

Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting millions worldwide and significantly increasing the risk of stroke, heart failure, and mortality.  Say’s Dr. Ian Weisberg,  early detection and monitoring of AF progression are crucial for timely intervention and personalized treatment strategies. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) and Holter monitors, have limitations […]

The Future of Atrial Fibrillation: 6 Advances in Treatment You Need to Know About

Introduction: Atrial Fibrillation and the Path to Progress Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, affecting millions of individuals globally. This condition occurs when the electrical signals in the heart’s upper chambers (atria) become disordered, leading to rapid and irregular heartbeats. AFib can significantly increase the risk of stroke, […]

Living with Atrial Fibrillation: 6 Tips for Managing the Condition Effectively

Introduction: Embracing Life with Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a heart condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and while it can be alarming, it is possible to live a fulfilling life with proper management and care. AFib occurs when the heart’s upper chambers (the atria) experience irregular electrical signals, causing an erratic heart […]

Breaking Down Atrial Fibrillation: How New Treatments Are Changing Lives

Introduction: The Rise of Atrial Fibrillation and the Need for Innovative Treatments Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a growing concern worldwide, affecting millions of individuals each year. This condition is characterized by irregular and often rapid heart rhythms, primarily in the heart’s upper chambers (atria), which can lead to severe complications such as stroke, heart failure, […]

Understanding Atrial Fibrillation: 6 Key Facts Every Patient Should Know

Introduction: What is Atrial Fibrillation and Why Should You Care? Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of heart arrhythmia, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the heart’s upper chambers, the atria, experience chaotic electrical signals, leading to an irregular and often rapid heart rate. While AFib may not always cause noticeable […]
