Cardiac Monitoring

What is cardiac monitoring?

Cardiac monitoring is used to diagnose a cardiac rhythm abnormality, rule it out, and choose the best course of therapy. Your doctor could advise ongoing cardiac monitoring to help in the diagnosis of conditions like:

Unaccounted fainting
Undiagnosed Stroke
Heart flutters
Heart arrhythmia

Why is cardiac monitoring suggested?

Using cardiac monitoring, your doctor can obtain information about your heart without interfering with your daily activities. Continuous cardiac monitoring is helpful for catching irregular heartbeats that occur infrequently; in certain instances, you might not even have any symptoms. Your doctor might advise cardiac monitoring depending on your situation.

What are the different types of cardiac monitoring?

Event recorder: A recorder that can be worn on the body for under 30 days is an event recorder. In order to record the heart's activity, it has to be activated by pushing a button.

Holter Monitor

It is a portable external monitor with cables and skin-attaching patches. For 1-2 days, it continually monitors and logs cardiac activity.

Insertable Cardiac Monitor

A tiny, under-the-skin gadget called an insertable cardiac monitor automatically identifies and records aberrant heart rhythms for up to three years.

Mobile Cardiac Telemetry

A wearable sensor called mobile cardiac telemetry identifies, stores, and transmits aberrant heart rhythms automatically for up to 30 days.
