Table 3. Results of continuous cardiac monitoring.

The arrhythmias observed on telemetry for the patient population are listed in descending order of frequency.

aSeven of the 11 patients with rate-controlled AFib/flutter had a known history of AFib/flutter.

bFour of the six patients with AFib with RVR had a known history of AFib.

cArrhythmias in the "Other" category included: accelerated junctional rhythm; bigeminy; trigeminy; nine-second pause; atrial ectopy; and bundle branch block.

  Overall (n = 254)
Normal sinus rhythm only 37% (94)
No comments noted about telemetry results 31% (79)
Sinus tachycardia 11% (28)
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) or flutter 6% (17)
                                                                  Rate-controlled                         4% (11) a
                                                                  with rapid ventricular rate (RVR)                         2% (6) b
Premature atrial or ventricular contractions 6% (15)
Bradycardia 6% (15)
Tachycardia (not sinus or AFib) 5% (12)
Other c 4% (10)
Atrioventricular block 3% (7)
Paced rhythm 3% (7)
Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia 2% (6)
Ventricular tachycardia 0.4% (1)
