AFib is the most frequently encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice and yet, according to the European Society of Cardiology, it remains one of the major causes of stroke, heart failure, sudden death and cardiovascular morbidity in the world.
Given that AFib can be asymptomatic, it is difficult to gauge prevalence. It was estimated to affect 33.5 million people globally in 2010, with about 5 million new cases diagnosed annually.
The condition is more common among men than women, with an estimated 20.9 million men compared to 12.6 million women having AFib worldwide. Incidence and prevalence of AFib seems to be higher in people of European ancestry than in other ethnic groups.
Omron technology enables the detection of possible atrial fibrillation with high sensitivity (95.5 per cent) and specificity (93.8 per cent). If you have a patient with diagnosed AFib, this function allows them to monitor their condition at home.
The AFib function takes three readings at 30-second intervals and when an irregular rhythm is detected twice or more during the measurement, the AFib detection symbol will appear on the display with the blood pressure measurement values. An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined for this function as a rhythm that is 25 per cent less or 25 per cent more than the average rhythm detected, while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
ECG must always be used to confirm diagnosis of AFib.
