Cooney also has atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm condition. It's often monitored with a portable EKG. That makes traveling a challenge, until Cooney got something new.

A wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) patch increases diagnosis of a common heart rhythm disorder, according to a study led by researchers at Oxford Population Health. The results of the Active ...

Well, an EKG is really the first test we look for in patients with symptoms of palpitations. Palpitations mean different things to different patients. You may mean a quickening of the heart rate ...

When the new Apple Watch heart monitoring app can get a reading, it can accurately detect that a person has an irregular heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation 99 percent of the time, according ...

The second ECG strip below shows an ectopic atrial rhythm. Note that the P wave is down in lead II and only up (not biphasic) in lead V1.

Atrial fibrillation signs can be very similar to that of a panic attack. Cardiologist explains why medical intervention is required to spot the differences.

1. AV Nodal Reentry Tachycardia (AVNRT) This is a narrow-complex QRS rhythm which is quite fast. Looking closely at the last part of the QRS complex in leads V1 and V2, P waves can be seen. This ...

Also, in around 10 percent of cases, the Stanford research found the Watch was unable to read people's rhythm at all -- meaning some Watch wearers who have atrial fibrillation may still go ...

The Skeptical Cardiologist received an email last week from a patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Afib) saying she was having an episode, documented on her Apple Watch and Kardia device ...

A regular atrial rhythm at a rate of 200 beats/min is either atrial tachycardia or atrial flutter. If it is the former, discrete P waves should be visible, especially in the inferior leads.

AliveCor's KardiaBand, a device that detect dangerous heart rhythms, has become the first Apple Watch accessory cleared for medical use by the FDA, the company announced. It can capture your EKG ...

Researchers have trained an artificial intelligence model to detect the signature of atrial fibrillation in 10-second electrocardiograms (ECG) taken from patients in normal rhythm. The study ...
