The diagnostic accuracy of transtelephonic pacemaker monitoring (TTM) has been quantified in a retrospective study involving 369 patients in three U.S. cardiac centers. Using existing medical records, TTM findings in a total of 413 reports were judged for equivalence to the findings of subsequent physical examinations in pacemaker clinics. This study found TTM follow-up testing to have a sensitivity of 94.6%, specificity of 98.5%, positive predictive value of 93.3%, and negative predictive value of 98.8%. The study also documents the clinical utility of TTM in identifying various modes of pacemaker malfunctions and instances of significant arrhythmia.
一项涉及美国三个心脏中心369名患者的回顾性研究对经电话起搏器监测（TTM）的诊断准确性进行了量化。利用现有的医疗记录，对总共413份报告中的TTM结果与起搏器诊所随后的体格检查结果进行了等效性判断。该研究发现，TTM随访测试的灵敏度为94.6%，特异度为98.5%，阳性预测值为93.3%，阴性预测值为98.8%。该研究还记录了TTM在识别起搏器各种故障模式和严重心律失常实例方面的临床效用。
