Novel Methods for Arrhythmia Detection: Preliminary Study

NCT03721601 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 220

Last updated 2018-11-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Approximately 20-25% of strokes are of cardioembolic origin, atrial fibrillation (AF) being a significant cause of cardioembolic strokes. AF is often symptomless and intermittent, making its detection a clinical challenge. Currently the golden standard for diagnosis of AF is by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or any other ECG-strip.

The aim of the study is to assess the potential of chest strap as an ECG monitor, especially in arrhythmia detection by cardiologist and algorithm.
