From: Changes in R-wave amplitude at implantation are associated with gender and orientation of insertable cardiac monitor: observations from the confirm Rx™ body posture and physical activity study

Fig. 2

R-wave amplitudes detected across all postural activities immediately following implant. Participant RWAs were assessed across 15 separate postures immediately following insertion of Confirm Rx™ ICM. On comparison to the Supine posture, lying on Right Side or Left side and Sitting were found to be significantly different in RWAs. Values for RWAs have been depicted as median and values range from minimum to maximum (n = 99). Significance was determined by Kruskal–Wallis test with p-value of < 0.05 considered significant. *** p-value of <0.001, *p-value of <0.05. Stand- Standing, Iso-Push- Isometric Push, Iso-Pull- Isometric Pull, Bal-Ballottement, CT- Chest Thumping, DP-Tip/Mid/Base- Device Pressure/Pressure on ICM at the tip, middle or lower part, AF- Arm Flaps, LHS- Left Arm Handshakes
