Key result
TTM captures ~95% of diagnostic symptomatic events within 5 weeks of monitoring.
Why the study?
The appropriate duration for transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring (TTM) for transient symptomatic event detection (TSED) has not been adequately assessed.
Comparison
Different durations of TTM for transient symptomatic event detection

Hypothesis-generating for TTM duration in TSED; optimal length remains undefined pending prospective studies.
Observational (n=5,052)
Transtelephonic ECG monitoring for transient symptomatic event detection achieves 95% of its diagnostic yield within 5 weeks, suggesting this as the optimal monitoring duration.
Reiffel et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Transient symptomatic event detection (n=5,052). Transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring (TTM) was evaluated on Symptomatic calls or documented arrhythmia within 5 weeks. Transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring for transient symptomatic event detection yielded 95% of symptomatic or arrhythmia-documented calls within 5 weeks.
