Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how daily ECG self-recordings affect the detection and treatment timing of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL) in patients undergoing specific treatments.
- A total of 238 patients were divided into a control group receiving standard care and an intervention group using a mobile ECG device, revealing that the intervention group had a higher likelihood of detecting recurrence.
- Results indicate that while mobile ECG devices facilitate earlier detection of AF/AFL recurrences, they also showed that control patients had a shorter time from detection to treatment.
Aims And Objectives: To determine the relationship between quality of life and perceived self-reported symptoms in an older, ambulatory, urban population living with heart failure.
Background: While arrhythmias in older individuals with heart failure are well documented, the association between perceived arrhythmia symptoms and quality of life is not well-defined.
Design: Prospective, cross-sectional single-centre study.
Atrial and ventriclar tachyarrhythmias, as well as bradyarrhythmias, in the elderly with heart failure (HF) and/or hypertension (HTN) have been well documented. However, the frequency of these arrhythmias, whether silent or symptomatic, and their association with subsequent cardiac events has not been well defi ned in patients 65 years or older with HF and other cardiovascular risk factors. To assess the value of 2 weeks of remote, transtelephonic cardiac monitoring for detecting arrhythmias in an elderly, urban population living with HF.
