ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A method to detect atrial fibrillation including the steps of receiving an electrical signal representative of a beating heart, measuring atrial activity over a time window of three or more beats, measuring beat interval variation over the time window, combining the measures of atrial activity and beat interval variation to produce an indication of an atrial fibrillation condition in the electrical signal, and generating an alert based on the indication of an atrial fibrillation condition.
