Abstract
Patients (31) who complained of recurrent palpitations were given transtelephone transmitters of ECG signals and instructed to use the transmitters while they were having symptoms. From the transcribed ECG sinus tachycardia was documented in 12 patients, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia in 7, atrial fibrillation in 4, atrial flutter in 3, frequent ventricular premature beats in 4 and ventricular tachycardia in 1. Patient-initiated transtelephone transmission of ECG signals was effective in documenting the nature of symptomatic paroxysmal tachycardia.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
