Optimal duration and predictors of diagnostic utility of patient-activated ambulatory ECG monitoring

Patient-activated ambulatory event monitoring for 7 days may be sufficient in the diagnosis of symptomatic patients as significant events first detected beyond 10 days were rare. Patients with a history of AF, arrhythmia or previous abnormal ambulatory monitoring may require even shorter monitoring periods.
