Prediction of incident atrial fibrillation (AF)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Prediction of incident AF by polygenic risk scores and AI (deep learning) on sinus rhythm ECG
  • Polygenic risk scores: good predictive ability, possible additive value to clinical AF prediction scores
  • AI of increasing interest in AF prediction using single or multiple lead sinus rhythm ECG
