Unweighted mean detection rates for chronic/sustained AF ( n = 5) and paroxysmal AF ( n = 5) were 5.6% and 23.3%, respectively. These monitors have become invaluable in helping the Cardiologist to determine whether treatment is necessary or whether the sensation of extra heart beats, which everyone has from time to time, can simply be ignored. Across the 22 studies, unweighted mean detection rates for atrial fibrillation (AF n = 15), supraventricular tachycardia or supraventricular ectopy ( n = 15), and ventricular tachycardia ( n = 15) were 12.2%, 45.5% and 17.3%, respectively. One such monitor, a Zio patch, is placed with an adhesive backing, requires no wires and can get wet meaning one can shower without having to take it off.
ZIO HEART MONITOR RESULTS PATCH
The patch simply sticks to the your chest, over your heart. The rate of arrhythmia detection increased with monitoring durations >48 h and continued to increase beyond 7 days of monitoring. The Zio Patch has been created to monitor your heart rhythm for 2 weeks.
The results of the ZIO Patch are effective in providing vital information to. The unweighted mean wear time was 10.4 days (median ranging from 5 to 14 days). For many years, Holter monitors were used to diagnose arrhythmias and other. It will monitor your heart rhythm during your normal day-to-day activity, including while you sleep, shower, and exercise, while it records every single heartbeat for analysis. Results: Twenty-three publications (22 unique studies) were identified. The Zio monitor is a small, discreet, comfortable patch that you will apply to the left side of your chest. Methods: Findings from searches of MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, as well as grey literature, were screened by two reviewers to identify studies reporting cardiac arrhythmia detection outcomes among patients monitored with Zio for an intended duration ≥7 days. The objective of this systematic literature review was to summarize evidence on the clinical effectiveness of the Zio 1 patch, a long-term, continuous, uninterrupted cardiac monitoring system. Recent technological advances in ambulatory electrocardiogram recorders have led to the development of unobtrusive wearable biosensors which allow physicians to study patients' continuous cardiac rhythm data collected over multiple weeks. Objective: Cardiac arrhythmias can be serious and life threatening, and can impose a significant burden on healthcare systems.
