An Electrocardiogram (ECG) registers the electric activity in the heart muscles, resulting from the polarization/depolarization of the cells constituting these muscles. Subtle changes in the functioning of the heart are quickly reflected in a change of the ECG pattern. Such subtle changes are not visible to the human eye; not even to the eye of the most experienced cardiologist. However, a data-drive approach can detect these changes with astonishing accuracy, allowing for early detection of cardiac conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AFib). AFib detection in an early stage is crucial. If detected too late, blood clots can be formed in the heart. These can travel to the brain, causing an ischemic brain stroke. AFib induces 20-30% of the ischemic brain strokes.
