I performed a second cardioversion on him after which he made daily recordings documenting maintenance of NSR. Such precise remote monitoring of heart rate in Afib (which is often difficult to accurately assess by standard heart rate devices) obviates the need for office visits for 12-lead ECGs or periodic Holter monitors. We utilized this to guide titration of his rate-controlling medications.
MOBILE HEART MONITOR PRO
The Kardia Pro chart below shows his daily heart rate while in atrial fibrillation. Before seeing me, he had purchased a Kardia mobile ECG device and was using it to monitor his heart rate.Īfter he accepted my email invitation to connect via Kardia Pro, I was able to see his rhythm and rate daily.
His previous cardiologist performed an electrical cardioversion a year ago, but the patient reverted back to Afib in 40 hours. Monitoring Rate Control After CardioversionĪnother patient I recently saw for the first time has had long-standing persistent Afib. Overall, he has made 773 recordings and 677 of them were NSR, 28 unanalyzed (due to brevity), 13 unclassified and 55 showing AF. I have elected to have all non-normal, patient-recorded ECGs go into the triage tab.Īnother patient's Kardia Pro page shows that he records an ECG nearly every day, and most of the time Kardia documents NSR in the 60s. Adding new patients is a quick and simple process requiring input of patient demographics, including email and birth date.įrom the opening screen, you can click on your triage tab. It contains buttons for searching for a specific patient or adding a new patient. When I log into Kardia Pro I see this screen. This knowledge allows me to make more informed treatment decisions. The benefits of this patient being connected to me are obvious: We now have an instantaneous patient-controlled method for knowing what his cardiac rhythm is doing and whether he is having symptoms. The ECG can then be archived or exported for entry into an electronic health record. (Kardia's algorithm calls "unclassified" anything it cannot clearly identify as Afib that is over 100 BPM.) In the example below, I added atrial flutter as the diagnosis, changing it from Kardia's unclassified.
MOBILE HEART MONITOR FULL
In the example below, I clicked on 2/27 which has both an unclassified recording (actually atrial flutter) and an Afib recording.Ĭlicking on the ECG strips brings up the full 30-second recording on a page that also allows me to assign my formal interpretation. I can click on any of the dots and 6-second strips of the full recording are displayed. The more he used the device and got feedback on when he was in or out of rhythm, the more he was able to recognize symptoms that were caused by Afib. The display shows that, after our office visit, he maintained NSR for 3 days (green dots) and then intermittently had ECG recordings classified as Afib (yellow dots) or unclassified (black). PocketECG is a complete diagnostic solution for mobile cardiac telemetry monitoring designed to meet all of these critical performance criteria, and more, with its ability to capture and label every heart beat while transmitting full-disclosure ECG signal for up to 30 days.The patient overview page also displays blood pressure information if the patient is utilizing certain Omron devices that work with Kardia. On the other hand, as a mobile ECG device, PocketECG facilitates the clinicians’ practice allowing for instantaneous scrutiny of data on computers and other mobile devices. It works flawlessly as an ECG device for home use that is trouble-free and comfortable for a patient undergoing a treatment. It is an appliance created to serve both a physician and a patient. Equally important, however, is the reliability, comprehensiveness, timeliness, availability and relevance of the information provided by PocketECG’s home heart monitoring system.
MOBILE HEART MONITOR PORTABLE
Thanks to our portable cardiac monitoring device, continuous ECG supervision and longer monitoring duration times also significantly improve the likelihood of AF detection. Research shows that PocketECG’s mobile ECG monitoring methods, which provide cardiologists with continuous monitoring extended duration time and measurement of heart rate, at rest and during activity, are more likely to increase DY.
