CARDIAC EVENT MONITORING

Conventional Holter monitoring is only effective in documenting approximately 10% of symptoms over the 24-hour recording period. Many patients will wear a Holter 3-5 times before capturing the symptomatic episode.  The physician may want to prescribe a cardiac event monitor
which is capable of recording 100% of symptoms because patients typically wear the device from 1 week to 2 months. The device is very compact and weighs only about four ounces. It is convenient and comfortable to wear for longer test periods. Click here to learn more about the type of test that is best for your patient.

When wearing the cardiac event monitor, it continuously tracks the heart’s activity. When the patient feels a symptom, they press a button and the EKG is stored in the monitor’s memory. At the patient’s convenience, they can transmit the recordings over the telephone to our 24-hour staff of cardiac technicians. The cardiac event monitor is easy to wear and operate, and it can be reapplied by the patient after bathing or showering. This simple, painless procedure has proven to be an effective tool for detecting cardiac problems.
