Diagnostic accuracy of a home blood pressure monitor to detect atrial fibrillation.

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and is associated with an increased long-term risk of stroke. A screening test for early diagnosis has the potential to prevent AF-related strokes. This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of an automated device for self-home blood pressure (BP) monitoring, which implements an algorithm for AF … Continue reading Diagnostic accuracy of a home blood pressure monitor to detect atrial fibrillation.
