Why the study?
Does a smartphone-operated, single-lead electrocardiography device provide accurate detection of rhythm and conduction abnormalities in a primary care population?
Does a smartphone-operated, single-lead electrocardiography device provide accurate detection of rhythm and conduction abnormalities in a primary care population?
A smartphone-operated 1L-ECG device provides excellent diagnostic accuracy for atrial fibrillation and flutter in primary care, though it is less sensitive for conduction abnormalities.
Supports 1L-ECG for AF detection in primary care; leaves open role for conduction abnormalities pending prospective validation.
In a primary care population, a smartphone-operated, 1L-ECG device showed excellent diagnostic accuracy for AF/AFL and good diagnostic accuracy for other rhythm abnormalities. The 1L-ECG device was less sensitive for conduction abnormalities.
