In recent years, mobile medical technology has made great progress in chronic disease management, but its application in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) still needs to be clarified. This study aims to determine whether the newly developed smartpho
In this study, two reviewers (MS and TE) independently extracted data from the included studies using the data extraction form prepared by the research team based on the objectives of the study. This form was developed in Covidence (Additional file 4). To enhance the clarity, relevance, accura...
All data are in the form of mean ± SD(Standard Deviation). The 2 tail-student t test was used to compare 2 independent samples. ANOVA was used to determine variation between or between groups. Kaplan–Meier Plotter was applied for prognostic analysis. A P < 0.05 reported ...
