In the early stages of atrial fibrillation (AF), most cases are paroxysmal (pAF), making identification only possible with continuous and prolonged monitoring. With the advent of wearables, smartwatches equipped with photoplethysmographic (PPG) sensors are an ideal approach for continuous monitoring of pAF. There have been numerous studies demonstrating successful capture of pAF events, especially using deep learning.

Article Synopsis
  • - The FUTURE-AS Registry is a study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who are candidates for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
  • - The study will measure key outcomes such as the accuracy of CTCA and FFR in detecting significant CAD compared to traditional methods, as well as the safety of the procedures with respect to potential complications.
  • - By exploring the feasibility of these imaging techniques, the registry aims to determine if they can help reduce unnecessary invasive procedures before TAVR, ultimately improving patient care.
