1. An automated system for diagnosing and monitoring the outcomes of atrial fibrillation, comprising:

  • a database storing a plurality of monitoring sets which each comprise recorded measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis;

    a comparison module determining a patient status change in response to an atrial fibrillation diagnosis by comparing at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure with both recorded measures relating to the same type of patient information; and

    an analysis module testing each patient status change against an indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared, the indicator threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiology resulting from atrial fibrillation.
