Cardiac Monitoring in Primary Care

Zio® ECG monitors, combined with iRhythm's comprehensive cardiac monitoring service, allow primary care providers to efficiently assess patients for potential arrhythmias, leading to faster diagnoses and streamlined treatment plans.1-3

Physician

The precise solution for primary care patients

The iRhythm monitoring service, utilizing our Zio long-term continuous monitoring (LTCM) devices, enables you to deliver the right care at the right place and time, providing highly accurate, actionable data3-6 while patients remain in the primary care setting.

Improve access and close gaps in care

Despite high demand for specialty heart care, nearly half of US counties don't have a practicing cardiologist7 and the average wait for an appointment is 27 days.8,9

Expedite time to diagnosis and care plan

Accelerate pursuit of differential diagnoses if arrhythmias are not present and mitigate cardiologist backlog by reducing the number of undiagnosed patients referred.3,4,10

Enhance the patient experience

Improve clinical outcomes,2,3,11 enable a comfortable wear,12,13 and reduce the likelihood for retesting compared to other monitoring services.2,3

AFib is up to 3X more prevalent than previously thought14

The burden of cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib), is significant. Research shows a strong link between arrhythmias and other chronic diseases, including cardiometabolic conditions.

There are up to 10.5 million adults in the US with diagnosed AFib14

1.5 million Americans are estimated to have undiagnosed AFib in the US15

AFib is associated with a 2.4-fold risk of stroke16

AFib is associated with a 5-fold risk of heart failure16

Lifetime risk of developing AFib is roughly 1 in 417

Zio monitor

The Zio monitor

The Zio ECG monitor is a prescription-only, single-use ECG monitor that continuously records data for up to 14 days. It is indicated for use on patients who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from transient symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, pre-syncope, syncope, fatigue, or anxiety. Zio ECG monitors are indicated to detect 13 types of arrhythmia classes, plus sinus rhythm and artifacts18-21:

  • Sinus
  • Atrial fibrillation (AF)
  • Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
  • Ectopic atrial rhythm (EAR)
  • Junctional
  • Bigeminy
  • Trigeminy
  • Complete heart block (CHB)
  • AVB Type II
  • Wenckebach
  • Ventricular tachycardia (VT)
  • Idioventricular rhythm (IVR)
  • VF/TdP/PVT
  • PAUSE

Designed with patients in mind

Zio ECG monitors are small11 and comfortable12,13 so patients can go about their daily activities.12,13

  • High patient satisfaction11 resulting in outstanding compliance with prescribed wear times13
  • 2x more likely to result in specified arrhythmia diagnoses compared to Holter monitoring services2,3,6,22
  • Flexibility to fit in your practice’s workflow — monitor can be applied in-clinic or via Home Enrollment by patients

Zio report

End-of-wear reports with 99% physician agreement23

The Zio end-of-wear report is accurate and succinct11 — generated by an FDA-cleared, deep-learned algorithm and reviewed and curated by Certified Cardiographic Technicians.18-21

  • The algorithm can classify a broad range of distinct arrhythmias with high diagnostic performance similar to that of cardiologists19
  • The Zio report provides a comprehensive end-of-wear analysis based on the full wear period18-21
  • The cover page offers a comprehensive overview of the most important cardiac events, while the rest of the report provides a detailed, easy-to-navigate deep dive into the finer points of the data collected
