  Conventional 24-hour Holter monitoring is the most widely used ambulatory electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring method to detect cardiac arrhythmias. However, such devices are cumbersome to wear, with multiple wires and patches which limit patients during daily activities. In a study of 31 participants, we evaluated the effectiveness of QardioCore, a novel electro-cardiographic monitoring device with a convenient design without leads and patches, in generating rhythm strip data that fulfill the requirements of clinical quality and accuracy when evaluated against two comparison devices: A standard three lead Holter monitor (sub-group 1) and an ECG patch (sub-group 2), over 24-hour period. Contrasting the ECG recordings taken with the QardioCore ECG Monitor and the comparison devices has not highlighted any differences considered clinically releva.. Read More»
