Article Synopsis
- Direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is a procedure used to treat atrial fibrillation, and a study compared follow-up methods between remote photoplethysmography (PPG) and traditional 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG).
- The analysis involved 416 patients, showing high compliance rates for both methods, but PPG was more cost-effective, saving money and travel time for patients while also reducing carbon emissions.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that remote PPG monitoring is a practical alternative for post-DCCV arrhythmia follow-up, with no safety concerns reported.
