The iTransmit Study

Clinical Test of the AliveCor

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic found the following after testing 55 patients:

Sixty patients were enrolled (mean age 60 ± 12 years), and 55 completed the study. There were 389 simultaneous AHM and TTM recordings. The κ statistic was 0.82, indicating excellent agreement between AHM and TTM recordings. If we consider AF and atrial flutter as one diseased state, the AHM had 100% sensitivity and 97% specificity for the detection of AF and atrial flutter. Only 2% of patients found it difficult to use the AHM, and the large majority (92%) preferred to use the AHM to monitor their AF as opposed to the TTM.

Granted, I don’t have access to the full study - but this is impressive. Larger studies are welcome.
