Researchers discovered that a spherical heart is associated with atrial fibrillation, whereas an elongated heart shape is linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. ...
In the competitive world of sports, where pushing boundaries and achieving peak performance are the norms, one crucial element is often overlooked: heart health. The importance of regular electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, particularly using mobile ECG devices, cannot be emphasized enough. Here’s why integrating mobile ECG technology into your sports routine is essential for ...

Emerging Therapies for Treatment of Heart Conditions In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the development and adoption of novel drug therapies aimed at addressing various cardiovascular conditions, such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure. These therapies, including Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors (SGLTis), represent a significant ...
HFpEF patients are likely to have a high prevalence of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus type 2, salt-sensitive hypertension, atrial fibrillation (AF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anaemia, and renal dysfunction.[6.7,8] As life expectancy and comorbidity rates rise, the ...
Physical signs of heart failure (HF) (such as elevated jugular venous pressure, pulmonary rales, and lower extremity edema) may or may not be present. [9] A history of atrial fibrillation (AF), obesity, and diabetes all increase the likelihood of HFpEF. [10] (Table 1). ...
Cellular and Molecular Differences between HFpEF and HFrEF: A Step Ahead in an Improved Pathological Understanding Many conditions are associated with HFpEF. These include: Atrial fibrillation (Afib) Coronary artery disease Diabetes High blood pressure (hypertension) Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) Obesity Chronic kidney disease Amyloidosis or other ...
Treatment, therefore, focuses on symptomatic management of fluid overload, rate control of atrial fibrillation, and blood pressure management. Treatment should be individually based, with treatment focusing on underlying comorbidities (this may of course mean patients are on treatments such as ACE inhibitors and beta blockers anyway).[6] SGLT2 inhibitors were ...
Typical Atrial Flutter (AFL) is the most common type of atrial flutter and is a macro-reentrant right atrial tachycardia that uses the cavo-tricuspid isthmus as an essential part of a counter-clockwise circuit. The tendon of Todaro, the crista terminalis, the inferior vena cava, the tricuspid valve annulus, and the coronary sinus os provide anatomical landmarks of the circuit. Typical AFL can be ...
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is often described as an irregularly irregular rhythm. ...
An array of symptoms can suggest the presence of the common heart irregularity Atrial Fibrillation. While it affects millions of people worldwide, it is also widely acknowledged that Atrial Fibrillation (AF) can be a condition that is relatively difficult to diagnose as the symptoms can be intermittent. ...

The prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation globally is rising at a significant rate. However, researchers, scientists and clinicians remain uncertain as to how many people may have the heart irregularity because of this rapid growth. In addition, there are concerns that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be millions of people worldwide with ...

Most smartwatches also have a built-in heart rate monitor which can track heart rhythms and atrial fibrillation. They can also monitor stress levels and provide users with data about their sleeping patterns. ...

Wearable devices Advances in the development of smartphones and wearable devices have seen PPG use broaden to other areas, including helping detection of heart irregularities such as atrial fibrillation (AF). One example is Sky Labs CART-I, which is the world’s first ring-type smart wearable heart rhythm monitoring medical device on the market and ...

Some smart rings even come with PPG sensors to monitor a patient’s heart rate and even spot early signs of atrial fibrillation. ...

While Apple Watches already have many health sensing capabilities, including detecting an arrhythmia in a heart that could lead to diagnoses like Atrial Fibrillation, the potential for even more sensors is on the horizon. ...
Even the much-publicized Apple Watch® atrial fibrillation study, a population consisting of Apple Watch® owners, showed poor adherence with only 21% of those who received an irregular pulse notification initiating the first indicated visit [45]. ...
Background and Purpose - Atrial fibrillation (AF) elevates risk of recurrent stroke but is incompletely identified by standard investigation after stroke, though detection rates correlate with monitoring duration. ...
