Physicians should be able to identify AFib at the very first sight if it is there in ECG, and this app illustrates how to identify it, by studying 120+ ECG cases from real world patients with AFib identified by cardiologists, including other interpretation like RVR or IVCD.
In addition, this app provides a wide range of knowledge about AFib in visual guide, including:
1. Classification
2. Signs and symptoms
3. ECG features
4. Diagnosis
5. Causes
6. Pathophysiology
7. Risk factors for patients
8. Treatment
Why is AFib so important to you should know everything about it?
AFib is a very common arrhythmia that many people live for years with atrial fibrillation without problems. However, because the atria are beating rapidly and irregularly, blood does not flow through them as quickly. This makes the blood more likely to clot. If a blood clot is pumped out of the heart, it can travel to the brain, resulting in a stroke. The likelihood of a stroke in people with AFib is five to seven times higher than in the general population. Although about half of all blood clots related to AF result in stroke, clots can travel to other parts of the body -- such as the kidney, heart, or intestines -- also causing problems.
AFib can also decrease the heart's pumping ability by as much as 20%-25%. AFib combined with a fast heart rate over a period of days to months can result in heart failure. Control of AFib can then improve heart failure.
The risk of AFib increases with age, particularly after age 60. According to the CDC, AFib affects roughly one in every 10 people ages 80 or older.
So, you want to identify AFib at the very fist sight if it is there in ECG, and this app helps you do that.
