Why the study?
Hypertension in patients with AF is an independent stroke risk factor, prompting investigation into whether a BP monitor with built-in ECG can accurately differentiate sinus rhythm from AF.
Does the Complete blood pressure monitor accurately differentiate sinus rhythm from atrial fibrillation during blood pressure measurement?
Does the Complete blood pressure monitor accurately differentiate sinus rhythm from atrial fibrillation during blood pressure measurement?
This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of a novel combined blood pressure and ECG monitor for detecting atrial fibrillation.
Accuracy of combined BP-ECG monitors for AF detection needs prospective validation; leaves open routine clinical adoption.
Background:Hypertension in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is a known independent risk factor for stroke. The Complete blood pressure (BP) monitor (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan) was developed as the first BP monitor with electrocardiogram (ECG) capability in a single device to simultaneously monitor ECG and BP readings. This study investigated whether the Complete can accurately differentiate sinus rhythm (SR) from AF during BP measurement.
