Detection and management of atrial fibrillation using remote monitoring

Kathleen T Hickey et al. Nurse Pract. .

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common dysrhythmia encountered in the United States. Symptoms may be similar to those of other cardiac conditions, which can delay the timely detection, diagnosis, and management of AF. This article provides an overview of AF and modalities used in remote monitoring.
