Comparison of Continuous Sternal ECG Patch Monitors (Carnation and Zio) Trial
Comparison of Continuous Sternal ECG Patch Monitors (Carnation and Zio) Trial
This study is intended to compare the new Carnation patch monitoring system with the Zio
 patch, which represents the current standard for continuous recording of the ECG over
 extended periods.
The purpose of this research is to confirm the clinical value of a new P-wave sensitive
 recording vector combined with an easy-to-use long-term cardiac rhythm monitoring patch
 system, the CarnationTM Ambulatory Monitoring (CAM) System. The P-wave is a critical aspect
 of the electrocardiogram and a key finding for proper arrhythmia diagnosis. The CAM system is
 optimized for both ease of use and for maximum P-wave clarity for arrhythmia diagnosis.
Inclusion Criteria:

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Any dermatitis or infected skin over the sternum (Carnation patch) or left upper
