Does a handheld portable ECG device effectively detect cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation in outpatient and screening populations?
A handheld remote ECG device is clinically feasible and effective for detecting cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, in both symptom-driven and screening populations.
Chang et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation (n=339). Handheld portable electrocardiogram (ECG) device was evaluated on Evidence of cardiac arrhythmias. A handheld portable ECG device demonstrated high clinical feasibility, successfully transferring data in 98.4% of cases and detecting cardiac arrhythmias in 32.5% of participants.
