Why the study?
Conventional arrhythmia diagnostic tools have limited availability and usability challenges during demanding training, leaving a need for out-of-hospital monitoring in elite endurance athletes.
Does the ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor provide satisfactory function and usability for continuous ECG monitoring in elite endurance athletes?
