Abstract

One hundred patients with sporadically occurring symptoms suggesting cardiac arrhythmias were evaluated with the aid of a transtelephonic electrocardiographic recording device (Cardiomemo^®). In 83 patients, 124 episodes with symptoms were documented and a correlation with electrocardiographic findings could be established. Forty of these patients (48%) had a cardiac arrhythmia and 43 (52%) had a normal heart rhythm. It appears that, for the assessment of sporadically occurring symptoms, transtelephonic electrocardiographic recording is a valuable supplement to 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring.

Ambulatory patient-activated arrhythmia monitoring: Comparison of a new wrist-applied monitor with a conventional precordial device
1997, Journal of Electrocardiology
A wrist-applied transtelephonic device (WrTTD) and a precordial (PrTTD) patient-activated transtelephonic electrocardiographic (ECG) recorder were compared objectively (quality of ECG traces) and subjectively (device preference) in a prospective randomized crossover study of 24 patients. All underwent cardioversion for chronic atrial fibrillation and were then randomized to each device for 1 month. The ECG traces were sent weekly with additional traces if symptomatic. Self-administered questionnaires were completed after 1 month with each device, and the first five telemetered ECG traces for each patient were blindly assessed by two experienced cardiologists. Although the QRS complexes were smaller with the WrTTD (P < .001), the quality of the traces was similar. In particular, there was no significant difference in number of nondiagnostic traces, ability to detect atrial activity, degree of baseline fluctuation, or amount of artifact. Overall, patients preferred the PrTTD (P = .02). Patients found the PrTTD easier to use (P = .007) and were able to apply it more rapidly (P = .02). The quality of ECG traces obtained from the upper limbs by using a wrist-applied transtelephonic device was concluded to be comparable with those obtained by direct precordial application. In order to increase patient acceptability of the former, further improvements to simplify its operation are necessary.
Diagnostic evaluation of syncope
1991, The American Journal of Medicine
Syncope is a common medical problem and is caused by a wide variety of diseases ranging from physiologic derangements with few consequences to conditions that may be immediately life-threatening. Because of the large differential diagnosis, many diagnostic tests are available for its evaluation. However, a cause of syncope is not established in 38% to 47% of patients despite these tests. In those patients in whom a diagnosis can be assigned, the history and physical examination identify a potential cause in 49% to 85%. Furthermore, in 8% of additional patients, history and physical examination are suggestive of causes that need confirmation by specific tests. Routine blood tests rarely yield diagnostically helpful information. In those patients in whom a potential cause for syncope is identified, arrhythmias are diagnosed by electrocardiogram in 2% to 11% of patients, cardiac monitoring in 3% to 27% (telemetry or Holter), stress test in less than 1%, carotid massage in less than 1%, and electrophysiologic studies in less than 3%. Diagnosis of arrhythmias as a cause of syncope is problematic because symptomatic correlation during electrocardiographic monitoring is rarely found (approximately 4%), and as a result, there is no uniform agreement on diagnostic criteria for abnormalities. Similar problems exist in the use of electrophysiologic studies. Upright tilt testing and psychiatric examination may be useful in evaluation of recurrent syncope of unknown cause in patients without organic heart disease. Based on the results of recent studies, strategies for evaluation of patients with syncope are possible that utilize selective and goal-directed diagnostic testing.
