Efficacy of Wearable Single-Lead ECG Monitoring during Exercise Stress Testing: A Comparative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Few comparative studies have evaluated wearable single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) devices and standard multi-lead ECG devices during exercise testing. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of a wearable single-lead ECG monitor for recording heart rate (HR) metrics during graded exercise tests (GXTs).

Methods

A cohort of 50 patients at a tertiary hospital underwent GXT while simultaneously being equipped with wearable single- and conventional multi-lead ECGs. The concordance between these modalities was quantified using the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman plot analysis.

Results

The minimum and average HR readings between the devices were generally consistent. Parameters such as ventricular ectopic beats and supraventr
