Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the application value of different-duration electrocardiograms (ECGs) in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosis.
METHODS
A total of 220 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation diagnosed by 24-h dynamic electrocardiogram in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the study subjects. The patients were monitored for 10 s, 5 min, and 24 hr, respectively. The results of the three different-duration ECGs were compared and analyzed in order to evaluate their paroxysmal AF diagnosis value.
RESULTS
Paroxysmal AF was detected in 18 patients (8.2%) with the 10-s ECG; in 89 patients (40.5%) with the 5-min ECG; and in 199 patients (90.5%) with the 24-h dynamic ECG.
CONCLUSION
In patients with paroxysmal AF, ECGs with longer detection times had higher detection rates.
