Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that impacts over 40 million individuals globally.

This condition escalates the likelihood of stroke by five times, and such strokes frequently result in fatality or profound impairment.

Froedtert Pleasant Prairie Hospital cardiac electrophysiology medical director Indrajit Choudhuri said: “Clinical trials have demonstrated the benefit of both implanted devices as well as consumer wearables and handheld devices in screening for AF.
