Summary:
Simultaneous wear study comparing wear time, analyzable time and signal quality of Zio XT monitors with 3 lead MCT monitors.
Key Findings:
- Zio quantified 100% AF burden, while the 3-lead MCT recorded only 2 h 26 min over the same period
- MCT showed 6.6±4.1 days with >4 h/day missing HR data compared to Zio with 0.28 days.
