Detailed Description
Externally applied cardiac rhythm monitors are common tools used to diagnose symptoms that may or may not be related to cardiac rhythm abnormalities. Common problems that may lead to the use of cardiac rhythm monitors are syncope (loss of consciousness), near-syncope (near loss of consciousness), palpitations (the sensation of an abnormal heart beat), or monitoring of known cardiac rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this research is to confirm the clinical value of a much easier-to-use cardiac rhythm monitoring system, hereafter referred to as the Investigational Monitoring System. Prior to discussing the investigational monitoring system, we will review standard electrocardiographic monitoring tools used to evaluate the heart's rhythm.
Excluding a routine 12 lead electrocardiogram that takes a snapshot view of the hearts electrical signal, the most common tool for monitoring the heart rhythm is a Holter monitor. A Holter monitor is also called an ambulatory cardiac monitor. A Holter monitor records every heartbeat for 24 hours. It requires wearing multiple electrodes and carrying a recording system that is usually worn on a belt or on a holster strap. Such systems are relatively bulky and difficult to conceal in public venues. Also, their electrodes often disconnect, especially during sleep when the patient is unaware of electrode detachments that can occur when turning or during exercise. Moreover, they can't be worn during showering. These shortcomings notwithstanding, standard Holters remain the standard of care.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Skin comfort or discomfort: Was skin irritated?
Time Frame: 48 Hours
|
User will rate skin comfort on a pre-determined scale: none, mild, moderate, severe. Clinician will examine and rate patient's skin irritation when device is removed, using a pre-determined scale: none, mild, moderate, severe. |
48 Hours
|
Device comfort
Time Frame: 48 Hours
|
Was device comfortable to wear? User will rate on a pre-determined scale: very uncomfortable, mildly uncomfortable, comfortable. Was device inconspicuous under clothing? User will rate on a pre-determined scale: conspicuous, inconspicuous. Was ability to sleep affected by wearing the device? User will rate on a pre-determined scale: yes, no. |
48 Hours

Device stability and contact
Time Frame: 48 Hours
|
Did the device stay in place in the chest location where it was attached?
Clinician will evaluate visually, and rate on a pre-determined scale: yes, no.

48 Hours
|
User interface
Time Frame: 48 Hours
|
Was the patient able to access the button on the device to 'mark' events, such as sensing an episode of palpitations? User will rate on a pre-determined scale: Yes, no. Did the clinician find the device easy to attach to patient? Clinician will rate on a pre-determined scale with a rating of 1 through 5: 1 = very easy to attach and 5 = very hard to attach. Did the clinician find the device easy to remove from the patient? Clinician will rate on a pre-determined scale with a rating of 1 through 5: 1 = very easy to remove and 5 = very hard to remove. |
