- Abstract
Background: The need for mobile-based ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring arises from its potential to provide convenient and continuous tracking of heart rhythms, improving early detection and management of cardiac issues while accommodating patients' active lifestyles. The present study aims to compare and validate the 24 h ECG monitoring between the traditional Holter and Vigo Heart wearable patch. Method: One hundred and nineteen patients with a workup of pre-diagnosed arrhythmias or suspicious arrhythmic episodes were evaluated. Each participant wore both devices simultaneously, and the cardiac rhythm was monitored for 24 h. Selective ECG parameters were compared between the two devices and the cardiologist independently compared the diagnoses of each device. Results: The indication for ECG monitoring in the ent study was patients who were presented with suspicious arrhythmia-related symptoms (47.8%). The Vigo Heart ECG showed a negligible amount of mean noise percentage (1.94 ±6.68%) when compared with the traditional Holter 17.84±23.95% of the total recording time. For the maximum heart rate, there was significant correlation between the Holter monitoring and Vigo Heart patch (129.69 ± 22.5 vs. 113.31 ± 23.6 beats/min, p = 0.02). The results also showed significant correlation for the average heart rates (74.85 ± 10.8 vs. 76 ± 10.3 beats/min, p = 0.02) and minimum heart rates (47.94 ± 9.5 vs. 59.21 ± 8.9 beats/min, p = 0.02), for the Vigo Heart ECG and Holter monitoring, respectively. The cardiologist made coherent clinical diagnoses for all the 119 study participants using both the ECG monitoring devices. The findings also revealed comparable coherent detection of cardiac arrhythmias in both the ECG monitoring devices. Conclusion: The single-lead adhesive device presents itself as a viable and acceptable alternative for conducting ambulatory ECG monitoring in individuals with arrhythmia or suspicious symptoms of arrhythmias.
