Detecting Arrhythmias in Clinical Trials Using ECG Monitoring, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
TORONTO (PRWEB) March 21, 2019 -- Arrhythmia and syncope are two important conditions that should be optimally managed. Many cases of recurrent atrial fibrillation do not lead to symptoms but still present a threat to the patient due to the risk of cerebral and systemic embolism, which not only applies to patients on drug therapy but also to those who have received catheter ablation. The detection of asymptomatic atrial fibrillation influences further treatment strategies, especially with regard to anticoagulation. Ensuring there is real-time access to data is an important consideration in identifying the best strategy to monitor atrial fibrillation and arrhythmias.
The goals of electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring have expanded from simple heart rate and basic rhythm determination to the diagnosis of complex arrhythmias, detection of acute and often silent myocardial ischemia and identification of drug-induced prolonged QT interval. There is potential for event and continuous ECG monitoring to detect AF and arrhythmias in a timely manner, especially in a clinical trial setting.
Because clinical trials in cardiovascular medicine have grown in size, scope and complexity, the level of evidence required to support incremental new advances has increased substantially.
Join Polina Voloshko, MD, Chief Medical Officer at BioTel Research in a live webinar on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 at 1pm EDT to learn about trends in event and continuous ECG monitoring, and the implications for clinical trials of both medical device and therapies.
