10 essential tips to detect atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction on ECG Avoid misdiagnosing atrial flutter as sinus tachycardia by mastering these ECG interpretation strategies May 14, 2025 12:13 PM • ...
And, of course, atrial fibrillation is irregularly irregular. New-onset atrial flutter most often presents with 2:1 conduction.
Among people aged 45-50 years, those with atrial fibrillation were 3.4 times more likely to develop dementia than those without the arrythmia (hazard ratio, 3.4; 95% CI, 3.32-3.46).
This is the first study to test not only how good the AI algorithm is at assessing individual selected ECG strips, but also what we could expect to happen if human technicians were replaced by AI.
In a large international study, researchers tested whether an AI model can replace humans in analyzing long-term ECG recordings. The results: 14 times fewer missed diagnoses by the AI. Linda ...

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a condition of the heart where faulty electrical signals cause it to flutter or beat too fast. It raises your chances of a stroke and other heart problems.
New research suggests that there may be more than 10.5 million people in the United States living with atrial fibrillation, that is, three times more cases than experts had previously estimated.
Mass ECG screening for atrial fibrillation in older adults did not reduce the incidence of stroke or stroke hospitalization, according to the results of two trials presented at the European ...
“Atrial fibrillation doubles the risk of mortality, is one of the most common causes of stroke, increases risks of heart failure, myocardial infarction (heart attack), chronic kidney disease and ...
