Figure 6: Median Time from Onset to Evaluation of
Arrhythmic Events
Analysis
The mean time from onset to evaluation of first AF, VT, and VF
events in Group 2 is greater than the mean time from onset to
evaluation of first AF, VT, or VF events in Group 1. A rejection of
the null hypothesis for AF, VT and VF event types indicates that
the mean time from onset to evaluation of the first AF, VT and VF
events in Group 1 is significantly less than the mean time from
onset to evaluation of the first AF, VT and VF events in Group 2.
P-values are =0.005, <0.001 and <0.001 respectively.
1.6.4.4 Conclusions

Use of HM in Group 1 resulted in an average of 1.9 office
visits per patient year in the 12 months post-implant, versus
an average of 3.4 office visits per patient year in Group 2, a
44% reduction in office visits. The average number of office
visits is significantly less in the HM group than in the Control
group (p < 0.001).
