I am not sure everything needs to be attributed to someone and we can just state much uncontroversial stuff as fact.
For example "A diagnosis of AF may be suspected by feeling the pulse and confirm by an electrocardiogram (ECG)"
Rather than "A healthcare professional diagnoses AF by feeling the pulse and may confirm the diagnosis by using an electrocardiogram (ECG)."
Keeps things shorter and more to the point. User:TylerDurden8823 your thoughts? Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 09:01, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
User:TylerDurden8823 Per this "Healthcare professionals diagnose AF by feeling the pulse and may confirm the diagnosis by using an electrocardiogram (ECG)." The diagnosis is just suspected based on feeling the pulse.. So should be "Healthcare professionals may suspect AF during feeling the pulse and confirm the diagnosis by using an electrocardiogram (ECG)."

"The risk of stroke from non-valvular AF can be estimated using". I unlinked it. Did I do right? Also, what *is* that? Vandalism? And how did it link to *anything*? Polar Apposite ( talk) 20:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Concerning this edit responding to a request for an image change, there may be a case for presenting an ECG displaying just the absence of P waves (top) and a higher heart rate as two main clinical markers of Afib. I suggest this image be used to replace the current one. Zefr ( talk) 04:55, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
