Low false-positive rates support ambulatory pacemaker monitoring feasibility; leaves open larger prospective validation before routine adoption.
Does a modified portable electrocardiograph recorder accurately detect and assess pacemaker function in ambulant patients?
A modified portable electrocardiograph recorder provides an accurate and clinically useful method for assessing pacemaker function and detecting malfunctions in ambulant patients over a 24-hour period.
