The Simple ECG Monitoring Trial (Comparison of a Novel Recording System With a Standard Holter Monitor)

Completed

Conditions studied: Syncope, Pre-syncope, Atrial Fibrillation, Supraventricular Tachycardia

In brief

The purpose of this research is to simplify the standard recording system of the heart rhythm. The investigators desire to improve the ease of monitoring the cardiac rhythm for 24 hours. The investigators intent is to use a very small, innovative monitoring patch system that relieves the patient of wearing a cumbersome and uncomfortable recording system. This research trial will carry the title "The Simple ECG Monitoring" for Comparison of a Sternal ECG Recording System with a Standard ECG Recording System for Holter Monitoring. The data from the investigational device is for comparative purposes only. It will not be used by medical personnel for study subject treatment or diagnostic purposes.
