Does the Rossmax X5 automated blood pressure monitor accurately detect atrial fibrillation in patients attending cardiology and INR clinics?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The Rossmax X5 automated blood pressure monitor demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy (99.3%) for detecting atrial fibrillation, suggesting its utility as an opportunistic screening tool in clinical settings.
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a type of heart disease characterized by an irregular cardiac rhythm. The complications of AF are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and medical expenses. This emphasizes the significance of detecting AF early using a feasible device. Methods A total of 123 patients who attended cardiology and INR clinics were enrolled, with 51 of them having AF. The blood pressure of all patients was measured three times using the Rossmax X5, while a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was monitored simultaneously. Following that, a 12-lead ECG was performed on all patients. A cardiologist confirmed the irregular rhythm. Results Compared to the 12-lead ECG method, Rossmax X5 has an accuracy of 99.3%, a sensitivity of 100%, and a specificity of 98.6%. The positive and negative predictive values were also significant, which were 98.1% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion The Rossmax X5 automated blood pressure monitor has a high detection accuracy for AF. Therefore, Rossmax X5 can be recommended for use in the clinical setting as a screening tool for early AF detection.

Othman et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Atrial Fibrillation (n=123). Rossmax X5 automated blood pressure monitor vs. 12-lead ECG was evaluated on Accuracy of atrial fibrillation detection (95% CI 95.76-99.99). The Rossmax X5 automated blood pressure monitor detected atrial fibrillation with 99.3% accuracy, 100% sensitivity, and 98.6% specificity compared to 12-lead ECG.
