ECG patch monitoring identifies arrhythmias beyond AF: Apple Heart Study
PHILADELPHIA — ECG patch monitoring after receiving an irregular pulse notification on the Apple Watch identified several arrhythmias beyond atrial fibrillation, according to a secondary analysis of the Apple Heart Study presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
MARVEL 2: Atrial sensing algorithm with leadless pacemaker boosts atrioventricular synchrony
PHILADELPHIA — Accelerometer-based atrial sensing with a novel, enhanced, automated algorithm in patients with atrioventricular block and a single-chamber leadless pacemaker in the right ventricle significantly improved atrioventricular synchrony, which led to significant improvements in stroke volume, according to data from the MARVEL 2 trial presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
