Results:
Twenty-five patients (61 ± 17 years) were enrolled. The median distance
to the hospital from the patients’ homes was 10 km (range: 1.1–183).
The patients had no difficulties with either the postal delivery or
wearing the ECG devices. A total of 57 hours (range: 20–179) of ECG
monitoring per patient was performed, and the data were successfully
transmitted to the hospital. The median percentage of noise/artifact
burden during the ECG monitoring was 0.9%. Arrhythmic events were
observed in 8 patients. Most patients were satisfied with the ECG system
and delivery via the postal service.
