Abstract
Background: Heart rhythm disorders are common and may be associated with serious complications. The quality of the ECG signal is crucial to detect and classify arrhythmias. Most available devices for assessment arrhythmias do not allow for remote monitoring. The Norwegian ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor is a new remote patch monitor developed to simplify the assessment of arrhythmias. This study was aimed at evaluating the quality of the ECG signal from the ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor compared to standard 12-lead ECG.
Methods: ECG recordings with ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor and a standard 12-lead ECG recorder were performed in 97 volunteers at Sorlandet Hospital, Arendal, Norway, in 2019. All ECGs were analysed by two independent cardiologists.
Results: A total of 97 participants (53% men, age 48 (±14) years) were included in the study. The ability for both systems to use recorded ECG data for arrhythmia detection was good (100%). The quality of the P-wave (mean score 1.1 vs. 1.5) and the QRS complex (mean score 1.0 vs. 1.0) from the ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor and that from the 12-lead ECG were comparable (scale: 1: extremely good, 9: not accepted). Noise artefacts were a minor issue in all recordings.
Conclusions: The ECG quality from the ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor was comparable to the ECG quality from the standard 12-lead ECG. The ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor may enable easy and remote diagnostics of heart rhythm disorders. This trial is registered with NCT04700865.
背景:心律失常是常见的,并可能伴有严重的并发症。心电信号的质量对心律失常的检测和分类至关重要。大多数可用于评估心律失常的设备不允许远程监测。挪威ECG247智能心脏传感器是一种新型远程贴片监测器,旨在简化心律失常的评估。本研究旨在评估ECG247智能心脏传感器与标准12导联心电图信号的质量。方法:2019年,使用ECG247智能心脏传感器和标准12导联心电图仪对挪威阿伦达尔Sorlandet医院的97名志愿者进行心电图记录。所有心电图均由两位独立的心脏病专家进行分析。结果:研究共纳入97名参与者,其中53%为男性,年龄48(±14)岁。两个系统使用记录的心电数据进行心律失常检测的能力都很好(100%)。ECG247智能心脏传感器和12导联心电图的p波质量(平均评分1.1 vs 1.5)和QRS复核(平均评分1.0 vs 1.0)具有可比性(评分:1:非常好,9:不接受)。噪音伪影在所有录音中都是一个小问题。结论:ECG247智能心脏传感器的心电图质量与标准12导联心电图的心电图质量相当。ECG247智能心脏传感器可以轻松远程诊断心律紊乱。该试验注册号为NCT04700865。
期刊介绍:
The overall aim of the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications is to bring together science and applications of medical practice and medical care at a distance as well as their supporting technologies such as, computing, communications, and networking technologies with emphasis on telemedicine techniques and telemedicine applications. It is directed at practicing engineers, academic researchers, as well as doctors, nurses, etc. Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. For example, doctors can remotely examine patients via remote viewing monitors and sound devices, and/or sampling physiological data using telecommunication. Telemedicine technology is applied to areas of emergency healthcare, videoconsulting, telecardiology, telepathology, teledermatology, teleophthalmology, teleoncology, telepsychiatry, teledentistry, etc. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in telemedicine, applications, and their supporting technologies, for both application development and basic research. Papers should emphasize original results or case studies relating to the theory and/or applications of telemedicine. Tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of telemedicine, are also welcome. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer-review process.
