Abstract

<p> We investigated the effect of the transtelephonic ECG and blood pressure monitoring at home to mental condition in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who have remarkably obstructed QOL. 10 patients (male 9, female 1, mean age 59±10.3 yrs.)with refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation given by anti-arrhythmic drugs of 5±2.0 kinds were studied. 1313 ECG recordings and 1012 blood pressure measurements during observation period of 20±7.1 weeks were transmitted by the patient to the center, and analyzed by investigators. In final stage of the observation period, the questionnaire survey concerning the transtelephonic system was executed to the patient. All of patients had anxiety feeling and 90 % of patients showed the nervous character, then 80% of patients did not go out to the distance because it worries about the trouble. After using the system, all of patients showed improved mental condition and better QOL. We concluded the transtelephonic ECG and blood pressure monitoring system improved the mental condition.</p>
