NCT ID NCT06250712
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares two types of portable heart monitors in people who have symptoms of an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) but whose standard heart test was normal. About 588 participants will wear either a continuous ECG patch or use a handheld ECG device for one month. The goal is to see which device is better at detecting arrhythmias and to compare costs and quality of life.
