Key result
A network-based telemetric monitoring approach using a patient-activated event recorder detected significant arrhythmia in 38.5% of primary care patients with palpitations, leading to therapeutic consequences in 88.7% of those diagnosed.

Does network-based telemetric monitoring using a patient-activated event recorder improve detection of arrhythmia in primary care patients with palpitations?
A cross-sector telemedical approach using patient-activated event recorders is feasible for detecting arrhythmias in primary care patients with palpitations and frequently leads to therapeutic consequences.
Klein‐Wiele et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Palpitations (n=184). Patient-activated event recorder (Tele-EKG-Card 100IR) was evaluated on Detection of significant arrhythmia. A network-based telemetric monitoring approach using a patient-activated event recorder detected significant arrhythmia in 38.5% of primary care patients with palpitations, leading to therapeutic consequences in 88.7% of those diagnosed.
