Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical application value of EU08 Snap ECG recorder in remote realtime monitoring of arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia. Methods Fifty outpatients were enrolled in our study who had consulted from cardiovascular department of comprehensive grade 3A hospitals in Urumqi and Nanjing from June to September in 2015. All the research objects underwent routine 12 lead ECG monitoring and remote ECG monitoring by E-U08 Snap ECG recorder. If signs of cardiac irritations occurred, patients would collect ECG with Snap ECG recorder by themselves and transmit the recordings to hospitals for further analysis and diagnosis. The differences of detection rates of arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia in the two methods were separately compared. Results In the process of remote ECG monitoring, the detection rate of abnormal ECG by E-U08 Snap ECG recorder was 76% while the rate was only 20% by routine 12 lead ECG machine, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001). Among ECG abnormalities, the detection rates of arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia monitored by ECG recorder were significantly higher than those by routine 12 lead ECG machine(48% vs12%, P<0.001; 28% vs. 8%, P<0.05). Conclusion E-U08 Snap ECG recorder helps in improving detection rates of arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia for patients outside the hospital and thus has some clinical application value.
