Apple today announced it has launched a ResearchKit-based Apple Heart Study app, which uses the Apple Watch's heart rate sensor to collect data on irregular heart rhythms and notify users who may be ...

AFib is a type of irregular heart rhythm, it can be hard to detect due to a lack of visible and obvious symptoms, and later detection can increase stroke risk. Google said its AFib algorithm, ...

Elevated resting heart rate is associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. In a 2-stage meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in up to 181,171 individuals, we ...

Washington: Researchers discovered that an artificial intelligence (AI) system can detect an irregular cardiac rhythm in persons who do not yet have symptoms. The system, which discovered hidden ...

U.K. researchers developed an AI-powered T-shirt that monitors electrical signals continuously, addressing gaps in ...

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithm that can detect an abnormal heart rhythm or atrial fibrillation in people without symptoms. Atrial fibrillation is an ...

Steven Poelzing (left) and Gregory Hoeker, researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, collaborated on a new study published in the journal Heart Rhythm revealing why low blood ...

Trigeminy is a heart rhythm irregularity characterized by a premature ventricular contraction occurring every third heartbeat. While many people with trigeminy experience no symptoms, others may feel ...

Researchers have identified a new gene responsible for a rare, inherited form of sudden cardiac arrest, known as Brugada syndrome. Using positional cloning and gene sequencing on an affected family, ...

New research uncovers the regulatory mechanisms of the SK2 channel in heart function, paving the way for potential therapies targeting atrial fibrillation. A recent study by researchers at the ...

Researchers have used the zebrafish (Danio rerio) to identify the role of a gene involved in cardiac rhythm, which could help explain the fundamentals of what it takes to make a human heartbeat.
