Key result
A real-time handheld remote ECG monitor detected QRS complexes with 99.34% sensitivity and 99.31% specificity, and identified altered heart rate variability indices in heart failure patients.

Can a portable, handheld remote ECG monitor accurately detect QRS complexes and identify differences in HRV indices between normal subjects and those with congestive heart failure?
A newly designed handheld remote ECG monitor accurately detects QRS complexes and identifies HRV differences in heart failure patients, potentially aiding in early warning of impending cardiac events.
Singh et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia. Real-time handheld remote ECG monitor vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on QRS detection accuracy and heart rate variability indices. A real-time handheld remote ECG monitor detected QRS complexes with 99.34% sensitivity and 99.31% specificity, and identified altered heart rate variability indices in heart failure patients.
