What if a Sinus Rhythm ECG could show Atrial Fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation is a condition affecting more than 1.2 million people in the country, and a leading cause of concern due to the difficulties in detecting it, given its ‘come-and-go’ nature. However, researchers have claimed to be able to detect atrial fibrillation from a 10-second ECG when the patient is in sinus rhythm (i.e when the heart is out of atrial fibrillation)… Quite a statement, but when it has an accuracy of 83%, all we can do is stare in wonder as our technologies set a new standard in an increasing demanding environment of Healthcare.

Artificial Intelligence, From Theory to Practice.

In my articles, we consistently delve into what artificial intelligence can achieve for patients, but note the key term; ‘could’. Hence, today we look into what artificial intelligence has achieved for patients, ultimately the theory is written for its implementation. To be frank, to evaluate the effectiveness of a solution, it makes a great deal of sense to assess what the solution has achieved outright, than what it ‘could’ achieve. Now, let’s see how AI has played a part in medical practise.
