Cardiac Arrhythmia Telemetry; Conventional vs HeartWatch (CATCH)
Summary
This study is evaluating a new wearable heart monitor called HeartWatch. The goal is to see whether it records heart rhythm information as well as standard heart monitors that are currently used in clinics.
People whose doctor has recommended, or may recommend, a heart monitor to check their heart rhythm may be able to take part. Participants in the study will wear the conventional heart monitor that is prescribed as part of their usual care. They will also wear the HeartWatch device so that researchers can compare the recordings from the two devices. The HeartWatch device is worn on the upper arm using a band. It continuously records heart rhythm data.
