Filter by:In Western countries, every sixth person in their lifetime and 15,000 people in Finland have a new stroke each year. About every fourth stroke is based on cardiac embolism. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that increases the risk of thromboembolic complications, such as stroke. It may cause formation of thrombi in the left atrium with ensuing embolization in the cerebral and peripheral circulation. AF is often asymptomatic and paroxysmal. Thus, the diagnosis of AF is often challenging. A new onset AF is usually treated with cardioversion (CV), in which the abnormal rhythm is converted back to sinus rhythm (SR). However, a long-lasting AF (>48 hours) is associated with risk of stroke. Therefore, the duration of AF needs to be known before a CV can be performed. This study evaluates the ability of novel customer-targeted heart measuring devices to detect rhythm change and short AF episodes. Moreover, novel biomarkers will be analyzed from the blood samples of AF patients and their suitability to estimate the duration of AF will be evaluated. The research will be accomplished in cooperation with the Kuopio University Hospital Emergency Department, the Heart Center, the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Eastern Finland and Heart2Save Ltd. The results of the research project will be published in the scientific journals of medicine and medical technology and will be presented at scientific conferences of the respective fields. The research results of the project can be utilized by all companies in the medical technology industry, in particular companies that produce ECG measuring instruments and companies that produce rhythm recognition software.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Ivabradine and metoprolol to reduce heart rate prior to coronary CT angiography in patients with advanced heart failure.
The objective of this study is to assess the accuracy of the Apple Watch 4 Series watch in generating an ECG that is suitable for determination of heart rhythm compared to rhythms monitored via telemetry. Secondary objective is to assess the accuracy of the Apple Watch 4 series watch in identifying atrial fibrillation when it is present.
In Western countries, every sixth person in their lifetime and 15,000 people in Finland have a new stroke each year. About every fourth stroke is based on cardiac embolism. Atrial fibrillation causes formation of thrombi in the left atrium with ensuing embolization in the cerebral and peripheral circulation. This study investigates the suitability of measurement techniques and new calculation methods used in sport/wellness technology for the screening and diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias. New measurement technologies, the one-time ECG measurement and pulse wristband measurement, are studied for their characteristics, data quality and rhythm recognition. Identifying latent arrhythmias with new self-monitoring technologies can significantly reduce the number of strokes (the latent arrhythmias causes about 25% of strokes). The research will be accomplished in cooperation with the Kuopio University Hospital Emergency Department, the Heart Center, the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Eastern Finland and Heart2Save Ltd.

Drainage manoeuvres described in different Manual Lymphatic Drainage methods, suggest modificactions in vital signs, by changes at nervous system, that would involve modifications to heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, cardiac vascular level (arteries and lymphatics). In addition this hypothetical relaxing effect could be beneficial for other types of pathologies associated with the presence of stress, cardiac problems, respiratory pathology, muscle tension, muscle trigger points, etc. With this study investigators compare different manoeuvres in the neck area to observe the results in the participants regarding the basal state.
