Opportunistic screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) is recommended, and improved methods of early identification could allow the initiation appropriate therapies to prevent adverse health outcomes associated with AF.To determine effect a self-applied wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) patch in detecting AF clinical consequences such detection strategy.A direct-to-participant randomized trial prospective matched observational cohort study were conducted among members large national plan....
Efficient methods for screening populations undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) are needed to reduce its associated mortality, morbidity, and costs. The use of digital technologies, including wearable sensors large health record data sets allowing targeted outreach toward individuals at increased risk AF, might allow unprecedented opportunities effective, economical screening. trial's primary objective is determine, in a real-world setting, whether using risk-targeted population can...
The advent of large databases, wearable technology, and novel communications methods has the potential to expand pool candidate research participants offer them flexibility convenience participating in remote research. However, reports their effectiveness are sparse. We assessed use various forms outreach within a nationwide randomized clinical trial being conducted entirely by means.Candidate at possibly higher risk for atrial fibrillation were identified means insurance claims database...
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common, often without symptoms, and an independent risk factor for mortality, stroke heart failure. It unknown if screening asymptomatic individuals AF can improve clinical outcomes. Methods mSToPS was a pragmatic, direct-to-participant trial that randomized from single US-wide health plan to either immediate or delayed using continuous-recording ECG patch be worn two weeks 2 occasions, ~3 months apart, potentially detect undiagnosed AF. The 3-year...
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and worldwide. As demands on an already resource-constrained healthcare system intensify, prevention in future will likely depend out-of-office monitoring cardiovascular risk factors. Mobile health tracking devices that can track blood pressure heart rate, addition to new cardiac vital signs, such as physical activity level pulse wave velocity (PWV), offer a promising solution. An initial barrier is development accurate...
A wide range of personal wireless health-related sensor devices are being developed with hope improving health management. Factors related to effective user engagement, however, not well-known. We sought identify factors associated consistent long-term use the Scanadu Scout multi-parameter vital sign monitor among individuals who invested in device through a crowd-funding campaign. Email invitations join study were sent 4525 participants from US. Those completing baseline survey follow-up...
Abstract In 15 random autopsies, nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) were determined quantitatively by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) in human lung tissue to evaluate norm values. None of the deceased persons had an occupational exposure Cr or Ni their compounds. all, 22 samples taken from each at specific topographical anatomical locations. The analytical procedure is described detail. results showed substantial variation concentrations both within a single also between individuals. Median...
Screening for asymptomatic, undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) has the potential to allow earlier treatment, possibly resulting in prevention of strokes, but also increase medical resource utilization.
