Ambulatory Monitoring Services

 

Holter Monitor (available in U.S. only)

A Holter monitor documents the frequency and severity of an arrhythmia over a 24-hour period. It is also used to determine the necessity or efficacy of antiarrhythmic therapy. Specialists evaluate the results and provide a written report. 

Within 5 business days from return of monitor

 

Event Recorder (available in U.S. only)

Worn up to 7 days, the event recorder captures ECG activity for correlation with a client-observed event. The device is continually recording, but not permanently saving, ECG tracings. However, when an event is observed, the client pushes a button on the device. The device then saves the ECG that was measured just before the episode, during the episode and just after the episode. Specialists evaluate the results and provide a written report. 

Within 24 hours after final ECG capture event
