Abstract

Objective: To determine the feasibility of home monitoring of patients with cardiac disease or hypertension.

Methods: An improved home electrocardiographic and blood pressure telemonitoring system linked to a central workstation was tested in 10 patients in Macau for 3 months.

Results: The total number of connections was 1377. Of the automatic alarm connections, 32.5% were false positive, with the percentage of false positives ranging from 7.6 to 54.6 for different patients. Both patients and physicians found the system easy to use.

Conclusions: Further investigation is required to match the number of patients with the system capacity. A more robust dysrhythmia detection algorithm is needed to reduce the number of false alarms. Nevertheless, the results were sufficiently good that the trial is being expanded.

澳门首个家庭心电及血压远程监测系统试验。

目的:探讨对心脏病或高血压患者进行家庭监护的可行性。方法:在澳门对10名患者进行了为期3个月的与中央工作站连接的改进的家庭心电图和血压远程监测系统的测试。结果:总连接数为1377。在自动报警连接中，误报率为32.5%，不同患者的误报率在7.6 - 54.6之间。病人和医生都发现该系统易于使用。结论:需要进一步调查以使患者数量与系统容量相匹配。需要一种更稳健的心律失常检测算法来减少误报的数量。尽管如此，试验结果还是足够好，因此正在扩大试验范围。
