Video Summary

Justin Edward, a second-year medical student, presented a study analyzing the BARDI-DX ECG monitor's effectiveness in assessing the impact of anxiety on self-reported cardiac symptoms. The wearable monitor, typically used for tracking arrhythmias, helps correlate patient symptoms with cardiac events. The study involved 63 patients, divided into anxiety and non-anxiety groups. Findings showed anxiety patients frequently reported symptoms without corresponding arrhythmias, indicating a non-cardiac nature. The study underscored the monitor's utility but noted limitations such as a small sample size, suggesting the need for larger studies.
