Test Your Heart for A-Fib at Home, EKG
How to Detect Atrial-Fibrillation Home Detection and Prevention of Stroke Detection of atrial fibrillation using a modified micro life blood pressure monitor. This device is able to detect A-Fib (Atrial Fibrillation is a Stroke Risk) with high sensitivity and specificity. Test Your Heart for A-Fib at Home, EKG. You can also use a device by patients who monitor their blood pressure at home, it may help detect asymptomatic A-Fib and allow for treatment prior to the development of a stroke.
