What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess SJM (St. Jude Medical) Confirm ICM (Implantable Cardiac Monitor) Sensitivity and Positive Predictive Values of AF Episodes of at Least 2 Minutes in Length, Utilizing the Data Collected During the Holter Recording.

    Sensitivity measures the percentage of the actual duration of AF identified by the Holter monitor (for all AF detections that are ≥2 minutes in duration observed in the study) which are correctly identified as AF by the SJM Confirm ICM.

    Positive Predictive Value measures the percentage of the duration of AF detected (for all AF detections that are ≥2 minutes in duration observed in the study) by the SJM Confirm that is identified as AF by the Holter monitor.

    Measured: 4 days after Holter starts
