Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated a new way to screen for atrial fibrillation (AF) using an iPhone camera to detect changes in skin color that signal heartbeats, without needing physical contact.* -
- Researchers measured photoplethysmographic signals from 217 hospitalized patients, comparing results with traditional ECG readings; the new method showed high sensitivity (95%) and specificity (96%) in identifying AF.* -
- The findings suggest that using the Cardiio Rhythm app for facial signal detection is a feasible and convenient option for AF screening, offering promising predictive values for accurate results.*
Atherosclerosis represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in both the developed and developing countries. Animal models of atherosclerosis have served as valuable tools for providing insights on its aetiology, pathophysiology and complications. They can be used for invasive interrogation of physiological function and provide a platform for testing the efficacy and safety of different pharmacological therapies.
