Heart monitor showdown: 1 day vs. 8 days - which finds more dangerous irregular heartbeats?
NCT ID NCT05355948
Summary
This study tested whether wearing a heart monitor for 8 days finds more cases of atrial fibrillation (a dangerous irregular heartbeat) than wearing it for just 1 day. It involved 1,000 adults aged 75+ or at high risk for stroke who had symptoms like palpitations or dizziness. Researchers randomly assigned participants to one of the two monitoring periods to see which method was better at detecting the condition, which can lead to stroke if untreated.
