Heart Rhythm Monitoring at Home for High Blood Pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a small heart rhythm patch at home can detect irregular heartbeats in people with high blood pressure. It may help catch heart rhythm problems early before they cause symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure (hypertension) and are 60 years or older
- You meet at least one of: age 70+, BMI of 30 or higher, or a heart disease risk score of 3 or more
- You have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia (irregular heart rhythms)
- You are not currently taking blood thinners (anticoagulation therapy)
- You have no skin allergies to adhesive patches and no open wounds or skin inflammation on your chest
- You can wear a patch monitor on your chest and either apply it yourself or with a caregiver's help

This study tests whether a special blood pressure monitor can detect atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. It may help identify the condition early so you can get proper care.
This study compares a new heart monitor (Heartnote) with standard monitors used in Japan to see which is better at detecting heart rhythm problems. If you have symptoms like palpitations or dizziness and are already being prescribed Heartnote, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a blood pressure monitor that can also detect atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). You may join if you are 22 or older, have an average-sized arm, and either have been diagnosed with AF or have never had it — as long as you don't have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
This trial tests whether using a remote monitor to check your heart rhythm after a catheter ablation is safe and helps detect irregular heartbeats early. You would use a small device at home to send your heart data to your care team.
This study uses a wearable patch to monitor heart-related signs in people with heart conditions. It aims to learn more about how these conditions progress, which could help improve future care.
This trial uses a special long-term heart monitor (one wire) that uses artificial intelligence to find new cases of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. If you're 60 or older and haven't had AF before, this study could help catch it early.
