Randomized controlled trial shows ambulatory monitoring increases ECG abnormalities in patients after ACS, suggesting potential for improved care.

Monitoring revealed electrocardiographic abnormalities in 21.3% of patients, compared to only 2.7% in the control group.
The study's primary endpoint, detection of atrial fibrillation/flutter was significantly more frequent in 10.6% of patients in the monitoring group.
Randomized controlled trial involving high-risk patients after acute coronary syndrome assessed 12-month monitoring outcomes.
While increased detection rates were observed, the one-year MACE rates were similar in both groups, indicating further research is necessary.

Hernández et al. (2025) studied this question.
