AB  - Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) surveillance using a wireless handheld monitor capable of 12-lead electrocardiogram reconstruction was performed, and arrhythmia detection rate was compared with serial Holter monitoring. Methods: Twenty-five patients were monitored after an AF ablation procedure using the hand-held monitor for 2 months immediately after and then for 1 month approximately 6 months postablation. All patients underwent 12-lead 24-hour Holter monitoring at 1, 2, and 6 months postablation. Results: During months 1-2, 425 of 2942 hand-held monitor transmissions from 21 of 25 patients showed AF/atrial flutter (Afl). The frequency of detected arrhythmias decreased by month 6 to 85/1128 (P LT .01) in 15 of 23 patients. Hotter monitoring diagnosed AF/Afl in 8 of 25 and 7 of 23 patients at months 1-2 and month 6, respectively (P LT .01 compared with wireless hand-held monitor). Af/Afl diagnosis by wireless monitoring preceded Holler detection by an average of 24 days. Conclusions: Wireless monitoring with 12-lead electrocardiogram reconstruction demonstrated reliable AF/Afl detection that was more sensitive than serial 12-lead 24-hour Holter monitoring.

AB  - Differential diagnosis of symptomatic events in post-ablation atrial fibrillation (AF) patients (pts) is important; in particular, accurate, reliable detection of AF or atrial flutter (AFL) is essential. However, existing remote monitoring devices usually require attached leads and are not suitable for prolonged monitoring; moreover, most do not provide sufficient information to assess atrial activity, since they generally monitor only 1-3 ECG leads and rely on RR interval variability for AF diagnosis. A new hand-held, wireless, symptom-activated event monitor (CardioBip; CB) does not require attached leads and hence can be conveniently used for extended periods. Moreover, CB provides data that enables remote reconstruction of full 12-lead ECG data including atrial signal information. We hypothesized that these CB features would enable accurate remote differential diagnosis of symptomatic arrhythmias in post-ablation AF pts. Methods: 21 pts who underwent catheter ablation for AF were instructed to make a CB transmission (TX) whenever palpitations, lightheadedness, or similar symptoms occurred, and at multiple times daily when asymptomatic, during a 60 day post-ablation time period. CB transmissions (TXs) were analyzed blindly by 2 expert readers, with differences adjudicated by consensus. Results: 7 pts had no symptomatic episodes during the monitoring period. 14 of 21 pts had symptomatic events and made a total of 1699 TX, 164 of which were during symptoms. TX quality was acceptable for rhythm diagnosis and atrial activity in 96%. 118 TX from 10 symptomatic pts showed AF (96 TX from 10 pts) or AFL (22 TX from 3 pts), and 46 TX from 9 pts showed frequent PACs or PVCs. No other arrhythmias were detected. Five pts made symptomatic TX during AF/AFL and also during PACs/PVCs. Conclusions: Use of CB during symptomatic episodes enabled detection and differential diagnosis of symptomatic arrhythmias. The ability of CB to provide accurate reconstruction of 12 L ECGs including atrial activity, combined with its ease of use, makes it suitable for long-term surveillance for recurrent AF in post-ablation patients.
