Background: Patient-activated event recorders (ER) can facilitate diagnosis in unclear palpitations, however impact of ER screening on further treatment in (n = 27, 38.0%), behavioral intervention (n = 19, 26.8%), electrophysiology-study/catheter ablation (n = 4, 5.6%), cardioversion (n = 2, 2.8%), implantable cardioverter-defibrillator--implantation (n = 1, 1.4%), and left atrial appendage occluder (n = 1, 1.4%).
Conclusions:The investigated cross-sector telemetric network is a feasible approach to detect arrhythmia in patients with palpitations and may have high impact on further treatment, notably in those at risk for stroke due to AF. (Cardiol J 2016; 23, 4: 422-428)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
