Use of handheld electrocardiograph (SnapECG) for the remote monitoring of arrhythmias.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the value of a SnapECG monitoring in diagnosing arrhythmias compared with the conventional management.

Methods

In the first phase, the SnapECG and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) were simultaneously adopted to detect arrhythmias in 439 hospitalized patients. The accuracies of the SnapECG in detecting different arrhythmias were assessed. In the second phase, 62 patients with palpitations were randomized to receive the SnapECG monitoring or conventional management for 3 months. The diagnosis rate, time of diagnosis, episodes before diagnosis, associated expenses, and scores of the modified European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the 36-item short-form health survey questionnaire (SF-36) were compared between group
