Feasibility of using chest strap and dry electrode system for longer term cardiac arrhythmia monitoring: Results from a pilot observational study.

Background And Aim: Cardiac arrhythmia diagnostic yield improves with increased duration of monitoring. We investigated patient comfort, diagnostic quality of ECG, and arrhythmia diagnostic yield using a single lead longer term external cardiac monitor (ECM).

Methods: The observational ECM feasibility study enrolled patients with increased risk of cardiac arrhythmia.
