[Detection of Arrhythmias Using Digital Devices - Implementation and Potential Benefits in Daily Clinical Practice]
Abstract:
Digital devices can be used for arrhythmia detection and cardiac rhythm monitoring. Various technologies, such as electrocardiography, photoplethysmography and phonocardiogram are available for this approach. Current recommendations emphasize the need for appropriate recording, evaluation and assessment of data. Benefits and risks of digital devices need to be weighed for the individual patient. Moreover, reimbursement varies between different countries. In the future, wearables are expected to have a rising impact on the establishment of diagnosis as well as monitoring of heart rhythm disorders.
