AliveCor Heart Monitor and AliveECG app (Kardia Mobile) for detecting atrial fibrillation
Link
|
|
Summary
|
The AliveCor Heart Monitor and AliveECG app are, respectively, a pocket-sized ECG recorder and a mobile device application for analysis and communication of the results. The aim of the device is to identify paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Two clinical studies reported that the AliveCor Heart Monitor and the AliveECG app have sensitivity above 85% and specificity above 90% in identifying AF. An Australian study found that opportunistic, community-based screening for undiagnosed AF, using the AliveCor Heart Monitor and the AliveECG app, was cost effective.
