Usefulness of wearable electrocardiography devices in patients experiencing paroxysmal cardiac-related symptoms: A case series of the "CardioSecur" system
American Heart Journal Plus: Cardiology Research And Practice(2023)
摘要
Background: Electrocardiograms (ECGs) recorded with wearable devices and additional smartphone apps play an increasing role in cardiology.Case summaries: We present two cases in which it was possible to record an ECG during cardiac-related symptoms using the patients' smartphones. Previous standard resting and 24-hour ECGs had revealed no pathologies. In one case, AV nodal reentry tachycardia was detected and treated accordingly. In the second case, ischemic ECG changes were recorded in a young woman without cardiovascular risk factors during a chest pain episode. Suspecting a coronary vasomotion disorder, an invasive diagnostic procedure was performed. The acetylcholine spasm provocation test revealed coronary microvascular spasm and appropriate therapy was initiated.Discussion: Smartphone-based ECG systems which can be used by the patient independently while experiencing cardiac-related symptoms are a modern diagnostic tool. Considering the use of these systems is beneficial for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for paroxysmal arrhythmias and coronary vasomotion disorders.
