Helping prevent cryptogenic stroke reoccurrence through the detection of asymptomatic A-Fib
Cryptogenic strokes are types of strokes without any clear cause1. Multiple underlying factors can cause cryptogenic strokes, adding to the difficulty in performing an accurate diagnosis. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, hence, heart rhythm and cardiac health are major risk factors. Vasculitis, endocarditis, or complications from asymptomatic atrial […]
Close, continuous, and real-time monitoring of atrial fibrillation using the CardiacSense Watch
Atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart failure, due to the high potential of clot formation caused by an abnormal heart rate. Therefore, patients with diagnosed A-Fib require close monitoring to detect and manage the serious consequences of the condition. 14-30% of strokes are caused by A-Fib depending on […]
