The electrical activity of the heart can be used to predict individual progression of atrial fibrillation
Patients with atrial fibrillation, the most common irregular heartbeat, are more likely to receive personalized medicine. This is the claim of a new study led by Dr. David Filgueiras of the National Center for Cardiovascular Research, Hospital San Carlos Madrid and Red Heart Research Center of Madrid. The findings suggest that individual progression of atrial fibrillation can be monitored and predicted from electrical heart signals obtained from implantable devices. This project was supported by the Interhospital Foundation for Cardiovascular Research.
