Assessing the Accuracy of an Atrial Fibrillation Detection Algorithm Using Novel Smart Phone Technology in Detecting the Presence of Atrial Fibrillation. iRead Study
The purpose of this study is to examine whether patients can use the AliveCor case to record
their heart rhythm and to assess the accuracy of the software in detecting AF vs sinus rhythm
their heart rhythm and to assess the accuracy of the software in detecting AF vs sinus rhythm
AliveCor is a new monitoring technology used with a smart phone which allows patients to
record their rhythm. The study will compare AliveCor recordings and automated interpretation
of the rhythm with the interpretation by an Electrophysiologist.
