Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how factors like vector length, implant angle, and patient characteristics influence the accuracy of electrogram sensing in insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs).
- It involved analyzing 1800 ECG tracings from 150 participants using different distances, angles, and postures, finding that longer vector lengths (75 mm) and oblique angles improved P- and R-wave amplitudes significantly.
- The findings suggest that optimizing vector length and implant angle can enhance electrogram visibility, which is crucial for reducing false alerts in cardiac monitoring.
