Background: Digital health technologies provide a scalable, efficient approach to implementing guideline-recommended risk factor modification in the care of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a 12-week, multicomponent, virtual AF management program using a smartphone application, connected devices, and virtual coaching calls for risk factor modification.
Methods: Patients with AF were enrolled from outpatient clinics.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found a 400 bp region of the pfs230 gene, which showed a high number of unique haplotypes and allowed for accurate frequency estimation of gametocyte clones using advanced sequencing techniques.
- * The developed genotyping method demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting male and female gametocytes, with very low limits of detection, making it a valuable tool for studying malaria transmission.
