Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a critical diagnostic tool that records the electrical signals produced by the heart during each heartbeat. This recording is achieved through electrodes placed strategically on the arms, legs, and chest. The electrocardiograph amplifies these signals and produces 12 distinct tracings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the heart's electrical activity.
Three major waveforms are present in a typical ECG recording: the P wave, the QRS complex, and the T...

Summary

This study developed an easy-to-use telemonitoring system for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) to autonomously acquire electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The system demonstrated high patient adherence and usability, though ECG signal quality requires improvement for better atrial fibrillation (AF) detection.

Background:

Telemonitoring of vital signs is crucial for managing chronic heart failure (CHF).
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in CHF patients, necessitating its early detection.
Current telemonitoring systems need enhancement for autonomous electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

To extend an existing mobile phone-based telemonitoring system with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.
To enable patients with CHF to autonomously acquire their ECG signals easily.
To assess the technical feasibility, usability, and adherence of the enhanced telemonitoring system.

Main Methods:

A prototype sensing device was developed for simultaneous blood pressure and ECG acquisition.
The device integrated NFC and Bluetooth for seamless interaction with a mobile patient terminal.
A clinical pilot trial evaluated the system's feasibility, usability, and adherence to twice-daily usage.

Main Results:

21 CHF patients participated, transmitting 211 ECG datasets over 140 cumulative days (82.2% adherence).
The system facilitated autonomous ECG acquisition with high patient adherence and usability.
55% of ECG signals were adequate for ventricular rhythm assessment, while 8% sufficed for atrial rhythm assessment.

Conclusions:

The developed telemonitoring system, combining Bluetooth and NFC, enables ambulatory ECG acquisition in CHF patients.
High adherence rates and system usability were achieved.
ECG signal quality needs enhancement for improved AF detection in telemonitoring programs.
