Brief Summary:

Purpose: To conduct a pilot study to assess the feasibility of the NimbleHeart wireless telemetry vest in cardiac rehabilitation.

Study Design: This is a prospective, single center, non-randomized, pilot trial evaluating the NimbleHeart chest harness system.


Condition or disease
Cardiac Rehabilitation

Detailed Description:
20 subjects will be consented to participate at an early cardiac rehabilitation exercise session (typically sessions 1-6). Subjects will wear the NimbleHeart vest concurrently with existing telemetry system during exercise sessions, and thus not replace existing telemetry monitoring. Both staff and subjects will be queried for their (user) experiences during and after each session. Experiences will be documented on surveys after each session. De-identified ECG rhythm strips from the NimbleHeart monitor will be collected to assess quality of tracings. Subjects will be asked to wear the NimbleHeart vest for 2 sessions. Study participation will end after the 2nd session.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Degree of difficulty in attaching the harness as compared to attaching the standard telemetry system. [ Time Frame: 3 to 4 months ]

    How "easy" or "difficult" it is to apply the harness system as compared to existing telemetry system.

    Scores range from 1 to 5 scale where 1 = More difficult and 5 = Much easier


  2. Reported occurrences of subject discomfort [ Time Frame: 3 to 4 months ]
    Percentage of subjects with reported harness discomfort and a description of each occurrence of discomfort

  3. Quality of ECG tracings during exercise [ Time Frame: 3 to 4 months ]
    Degree of ECG quality to determine heart rate and detect arrhythmia during subject exercise Scores range from 1 to 3 scale where 1 = Poor and 3 = Good
