Relevance of Recording an ECG Trace With a Connected Watch

Over the past few years, various systems have been developed to record ECG traces on an ambulatory basis. The latest connected watch models feature 2-electrode ECG recording. This single (1D) or six derivations (6D) can be used to derive a wealth of information about the heart's rhythm. The information that can be derived from an ECG recording with a derivation goes far beyond̀ simple differentiation between atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm. In contrast, in various clinical situations, a tracing restricted to an intracardiac defibrillator (ICD) may prove falsely normal, wrongly reassuring a patient and delaying management. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity of ECG-1D or 6D recordings from a connected watch in measuring electrical parameters, compared with a standard ECG-12D, also to obtain a bank of tracings, to create and validate an artificial intelligence algorithm for the automatic analysis of ECG tracings recorded with a connected watch and also to validate the feasibility and sensitivity of recording an ECG tracing with a connected watch in children.

About this study

Single-arm prospective study to evaluate the measurement of electrocardiographic parameters obtained using two non-invasive ECG methods, one 12-lead reference method and the second 1 or 6 leads recorded from a connected watch, in a group of patients with healthy hearts (normal ECG) and 19 pathological groups.
