The subjects were instructed to send ECG recordings obtained by the iECG via a personal computer from their countries of residence. Interpretations of the ECG results were shared with the participant and the participant's occupational physician via e\u2010mail. Further, a questionnaire survey was conducted among the subjects to determine the usefulness of the iECG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Only 21 subjects (53.7 \u00b1 5.2 years) could send their ECG recordings from their countries of residence. During the monitoring period (average, 0.7 \u00b1 0.3 years), 504 ECG recordings were obtained using the iECG. No new CVD events were observed. The iECG monitoring recorded ST\u2010T abnormality in 4 subjects (19%), ST\u2010T abnormality plus left bundle branch block in 1 subject (5%), bradycardia in 1 subject (5%), atrial fibrillation in 1 subject (5%), short PR interval in 1 subject (5%) and normal findings in 13 subjects (61%). The questionnaire results showed a 68% rating for satisfaction, 58% rating for comfort, 68% rating for device utility and 37% rating for lifestyle improvements brought about by device use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The iECG could serve as a useful support tool for monitoring heart health in Japanese workers residing abroad with risk factors of CVDs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1539\/joh.14-0092-fs","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,17]],"date-time":"2014-09-17T02:00:48Z","timestamp":1410919248000},"page":"387-392","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Usefulness of a Portable Internet\u2010enabled ECG Recording System for Monitoring Heart Health among Japanese Workers Residing Abroad"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Isamu","family":"Kabe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Administration Department Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.
