Filter by:In this study, a wristband that monitors hearth rhythm and blood pressure is assessed in free living conditions. Two groups of patients are being recruited: patients receiving an EKG holter and patients receiving an automatic blood pressure monitor. Patients wear the wristband for 28 days. During this time, the number of atrial fibrillation episodes detected by the wristband is being counted, which is to be compared with the number of episodes detected by the holter. Also, blood pressure is measured continuously, which is to be compared with daily blood pressure measurements using a conventional blood pressure cuff.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic yield (at 1 month post enrollment) of an external loop recorder (SpiderFlash-T) in patients with syncope or palpitations of suspected arrhythmic origin, within 30 days before enrollment.
This study is intended to compare the new Carnation Ambulatory Monitoring (CAM) System, a patch monitoring system, with the Holter monitoring system. Holters represent the current standard for continuous recording of the ECG over extended periods.
This study is intended to compare the new Carnation patch monitoring system with the Zio patch, which represents the current standard for continuous recording of the ECG over extended periods.
Heart rhythm abnormalities underlie one of the common presenting complaints to the A&E and out-patient departments, specifically awareness of heart beats or palpitations. Unless an ECG (electrocardiogram) tracing of the heart rhythm can be recorded while the patient is having symptoms, it is very difficult to determine the cause of the palpitations. The conventional approach is to refer these patients from the emergency departments to the Cardiology outpatients where they undergo repeated short term rhythm monitoring hoping to record the rhythm underlying the patient's complaint. Unfortunately, this often yields no results thus delaying definitive treatment and incurring extra costs of repeated investigations and A&E presentations. This study aims to compare the ability of the conventional approach to establish a definite diagnosis compared to that of an early invasive monitoring approach with a small implantable device that records the heart rhythm at all time for up to 18 months.
Comparing the arrhythmia diagnostic yield of MCOT as compared to standard loop event monitors in patients presenting with palpitations, syncope or near syncope occurring less frequently than every 24 hours. Patients randomized and are enrolled for 30 days. Prior testing required: 24 hours of non diagnostic monitoring,
