We evaluated the effectiveness of extended cardiac monitoring using an adhesive ECG patch in the detection of drug-refractory paroxysmal AF. Patients diagnosed with paroxysmal AF and receiving AAD therapy were enrolled. The subjects simultaneously underwent 11-day adhesive ECG patch monitoring and a 24-h Holter test. The primary study outcome was a detection rate of drug-refractory AF or atrial tachycardia (AT) lasting \u226530 s. A total of 59 patients were enrolled and completed the study examinations. AF or AT was detected in 28 (47.5%) patients by an 11-day ECG patch monitor and in 8 (13.6%) patients by a 24-h Holter test (p &lt; 0.001). The 11-day ECG patch monitor identified an additional 20 patients (33.8%) with drug-refractory AF not detected by the 24-h Holter, and as a result, the treatment plan was changed in 11 patients (10 catheter ablations, one medication change). In conclusion, extended cardiac rhythm monitoring using an adhesive ECG patch in patients with paroxysmal AF under AAD therapy led to over a threefold higher detection of drug-refractory AF episodes, compared to the 24-h Holter test.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13193078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,29]],"date-time":"2023-09-29T02:47:30Z","timestamp":1695955650000},"page":"3078","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparison of the 11-Day Adhesive ECG Patch Monitor and 24-h Holter Tests to Assess the Response to Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Soohyun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Cardiovascular Research Institute for Intractable Disease, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3900-1943","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Cardiovascular Research Institute for Intractable Disease, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4058-3832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kichang","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA"},{"name":"Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sung-Hwan","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Cardiovascular Research Institute for Intractable Disease, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hwajung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Cardiovascular Research Institute for Intractable Disease, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sanghoon","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soyoon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Cardiovascular Research Institute for Intractable Disease, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong-Seog","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul St. Mary Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Cardiovascular Research Institute for Intractable Disease, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e143","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.112.129759","article-title":"An update on the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation","volume":"126","author":"McManus","year":"2012","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1501","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.117.309732","article-title":"Atrial Fibrillation: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Clinical Outcomes","volume":"120","author":"Staerk","year":"2017","journal-title":"Circ.
