Detection of arrhythmias: use of a patient-activated ambulatory electrocardiogram device with a solid-state memory loop
Open accessAbstract
A patient-activated ambulatory electrocardiogram device with a solid-state memory loop was used to investigate 100 unselected patients experiencing palpitation, dizziness, or syncope. Clinically useful information was obtained in 68% of patients. Frequently, sinus rhythm had been restored by the time the patient activated the device, but the arrhythmia had been stored in the pre-event segment of the memory--a distinct advantage over many other patient-activated devices. This recorder is complementary to conventional 24 hour electrocardiographic monitoring in the investigation of possible arrhythmias and is particularly suitable for patients with infrequent symptoms. Because the stored data can be rapidly analysed by any commercially available electrocardiograph the device is suitable for use in district general hospitals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
