Evaluation of the Polar H10 chest strap ECG in patients with a wide spectrum of cardiac diseases
ECG recording from the chest belt, obtained in hospitalized and ambulatory patients with various types of heart rhythm disorders, as well as in healthy controls, can be used in everyday practice to evaluate the basic heart rhythm.
University hospital Olomouc
Result:
The work evaluated the original data from the Polar H10 chest belt. 161 people (54 hospitalized patients, 53 outpatients and 54 healthy people) and a total of 1,153,229 heartbeats were analyzed. When comparing the ECG waveform from the Polar H10 chest strap against a standard 12-lead ECG, the physician reliably determined the baseline heart rhythm in the majority of participants, i.e. 94.4% of inpatients and 100% of outpatients and healthy controls. It can be concluded that the ECG recording from the Polar H10 chest belt can be reliably used in daily medical practice for the assessment of the basic heart rhythm, detection of atrial fibrillation or extrasystole.
” The methodology is a huge benefit in the detection of atrial fibrillation and in the diagnosis of paroxysmal arrhythmias and irregular palpitations with a minimal chance of detection during classic ECG monitoring. The automatic evaluation allows me to have a quick overview of the patients’ “arrhythmic” situation at any time, to which I can react immediately. Thanks to the easy collaboration, the confidential relationship with the patients is also significantly strengthened.”

” I liked Kardi Ai mainly because of its quick availability in case of problems and the possibility of detecting arrhythmias that we cannot detect with commonly available monitoring. Thanks to this, we are able to quickly offer optimal treatment after consultation with the patient, but also to rule out the arrhythmogenic cause of other problems.”

” I like to use the Kardi Ai on my patients with unclear palpitations. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was found in 30% of them, which lead to the performance of radiofrequency ablation. I look forward to cooperation in the future and especially the possibility of detecting other forms of cardiac arrhythmias.”
