Cardiologists often receive referrals for computer misdiagnoses of atrial fibrillation. Patients may have been inappropriately anticoagulated for pseudo atrial fibrillation. Anticoagulation carries significant risks, and such errors may carry a high cost. Have we become overreliant on machines and technology? In this article, we illustrate three such cases and briefly discuss how we can reduce these errors. © Singapore Medical Association | Source Title: | SINGAPORE MEDICAL JOURNAL | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/245972 | ISSN: | 0037-5675 2737-5935 |
