Discrimination of P and T Waves With Linq and Holter

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Arrhythmias, Cardiac

In brief

Currently loop recorders diagnose arrhythmias and send automatic alerts to physicians based on R to R relationships only. We believe arrhythmia diagnostics could be improved if accurate detection of P and T waves as well as QRS complexes were possible. There is no technique available for long term outpatient monitoring of QT intervals for patient at risk of torsade de pointes when receiving QT prolonging drugs. We believe that if an accurate T wave detection algorithm were developed loop recorders could be used to monitor the QT interval, and perhaps even provide alerts for patients at risk. The objective of this study is to see if an algorithm can be developed to accurately define P and T waves using data from an implantable loop recorder.
