Sensitivity and specificity of automated blood pressure devices to detect atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    (22). In contrast to the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA)-approved AF detector used by Watch BP, other BP devices use irregular heartbeat monitors, which are not FDAapproved and may use different algorithms which were not described in previous systematic reviews. Although out-of-office BP measurements (including 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring and home BP monitoring ) are increasingly recommended by international guidelines to diagnose and manage HT, their sensitivity and specificity to detect AF have not been adequately analysed by previous reviews. Repeated BP measurements during HBPM or ABPM allows detection of AF . . .
