Clinical Safety and Efficacy Testing of a Medical Device Kardi Ai, an ECG Telemetry Monitoring System

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of medical device Kardi Ai, an ECG telemetry monitoring device in adult population. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the sensitivity and specificity of Kardi Ai device for all monitored heart rythm disorders (combined) * What is the sensitivity and specificity of Kardi Ai device for each of the monitored heart rythm disorders * What is the quality of the ECG recordings Participants will receive Kardi Ai medical device. They will use it to collect ECG recordings from at least 5 different days and in total collect records of at least 10 hours duration.

Risk Factors in Tachycardiomyopathy

Decision between rate control and rhythm control can be a challenge in clinical practice. While there is some guiding evidence, we still lack a comprehensive insight into different subgroups of patients that will benefit from a rhythm control treatment. EMPATHY is a prospective clinical study in patients presenting with heart failure and a tachyarrhythmic rhythm disturbance. Biomarkers, routinely obtained results from clinical examinations, and results from endomyocardial biopsies shall be evaluated to identify patients which have better outcome from a rhythm control strategy by ablation therapy or, if contraindicated by pharmacological rhythm control. This study is designed to identifying risk factors and subgroups profiting from rhythm restoration and therefore improve current therapeutic approaches and the rate of recurrence-free survival.

Analysis of the Efficacy and Stability of a Wearable ECG Monitor

This study aims to analyze the efficacy and safety of wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring by simultaneously attaching a single-channel patch-type wearable ECG monitoring device (HiCardi+ by Mezoo Co., Ltd.) and a telemetry device (IntelliVue MX40 by Philips) used in actual wards to patients prescribed with ECG monitoring

Personalized Treatment for Patients With Premature Ventricular Beats

Frequent premature ventricular beats (PVBs) are common, negatively affects the quality of life for many patients, and can lead to impaired contractile function. Rule-out of structural heart disease is key in the assessment of PVBs. Cardiac MR has a high sensitivity for structural heart disease, but the diagnostic gain from this resource-demanding procedure in the work-up of patients with PVBs is unknown. There is a need to establish the role of MR in the evaluation of patients with PVBs to improve diagnostic efficacy, establish treatment strategies, and promote further research. This project will answer three key questions: 1) What is the diagnostic gain from cardiac MR in patients with PVBs? 2) Is MR the real gold standard to rule-out structural heart disease in patients with PVBs? 3) Can non-invasive heart rate parameters guide the strategy for induction of PVBs during invasive electrophysiological procedures?
