Abstract:
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to grow in an aging population, and its impact on both patients and the health care system has has made it a global burden. There are limited available options to detect individuals at risk of AF that may benefit from prevention and treatment strategies. The ECG may be an effective tool do so. In this work, we discuss the latest work by Hayiroğlu and colleagues related to this work and the use of novel ECG prediction tools to identify individuals individuals that could benefit from early and proactive screening, surveillance, and management strategies.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
