Accuracy of an automatic and patient-triggered long-term solid memory ambulatory cardiac event recorder.
This study evaluated the R-Test Evolution, a new type of cardiac event recorder bearing both patient-triggered and automatic capabilities. Its 7-day automatic arrhythmia analysis showed promising clinical advantages, especially when investigating patients with unexplained rare events such as syncope, feeling of weakness or faintness, palpitations, stroke, or in patients inconsistent in their use of patient-triggered recordings.
