Introduction:
We aimed to study whether KardiaMobile 6L 30-second capture technology could shorten ECG collection time compared to standard 12L ECG without compromising data usability.
Methods:
A single-center, non-randomized trial was performed on patients presenting for follow-up visits to the electrophysiology (EP) clinic. Providers in the KardiaMobile 6L group were allowed to request a standard 12L if the 6L was deemed insufficient for clinical care. Room utilization times, defined as the time from medical assistant room entry to exit, were compared for each group.
Results:
There were 100 patients in the study, with 50 in each arm. Average room utilization time for the 12L group and 6L groups were 10.33 ± 2.2 and 7.27 ± 1.93 min, respectively (p < .001). In 8 (16%) visits for the 6L group, an additional 12L was requested.
Conclusion:
For EP follow-up visits, clinic utilization time was significantly reduced with the KardiaMobile 6L compared to the 12L ECG with infrequent need for an additional 12L.

01:28Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage....
01:30Cardiac Action Potential
The cardiac action potential process involves a series of phases characterized by the movement of ions across the cardiac cell membranes, leading to the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac myocytes.

01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
