Diagnostic Accuracy of a Portable ECG Device in Rowing Athletes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Athletes can experience exercise-induced transient arrythmias during high-intensity exercise or competition, which are difficult to capture on traditional Holter monitors or replicate in clinical exercise testing. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of a portable single channel ECG sensor and data recorder (PluxECG) and to evaluate the confidence and reliability in interpretation of ECGs recorded using the PluxECG during remote rowing.

Methods

This was a two-phase study on rowing athletes. Phase I assessed the accuracy and precision of heart rate (HR) using the PluxECG system compared to a reference 12-lead ECG system. Phase II evaluated the confidence and reliability in interpretation of ECGs during ergometer (ERG) and on-water (OW) rowing at
