Why the study?
Information on the range of portable ECG recording devices available and their strengths and weaknesses was limited.
Provides an overview of portable ECG recording devices for arrhythmia detection, detailing their strengths and weaknesses for patients and doctors.
May inform device selection for arrhythmia monitoring; leaves open comparative trials to guide practice.
-VASc scores being the most common example. Both these issues are now being importantly addressed by the widespread availability of portable ECG recording devices, which patients can either manually activate themselves or program to automatically detect abnormal arrhythmias. Information on the range of devices available and their strengths and weaknesses is limited. This article aims to provide a helpful overview for patients and doctors advising them.
