63 How good are new ELRS in AF monitoring?

Introduction: Novel external ECG recording external loop recorders (ELRs) have been developed including the Zio patch (ZP), NUUBO ’s shirt-based ELR, the Bardy patch (BP) and the Qardio Belt (QB) . We compared patient (pt) satisfaction, accuracy of atrial fibrillation (AF) detection and cost efficacy of ZP, NUUBO vest (NV), BP and QB with Novacor ‘R’ test, our clinical standard. All pts had dual chamber DDDR pacemakers ( PPMs) implanted allowing continuous assessment of positive and negative predictive accuracy of the ELRs, throughout the study period.
