Holter monitoring and cardiac event recording.
نویسنده
چکیده
The detection and characterization of transient arrhythmias is possible with continuous ambulatory electrocardiography (Holter monitoring) or cardiac event recording. These techniques have significantly increased our appreciation of transient arrhythmias, often undetected with routine echocardiography and have provided highly sensitive means to assess need and efficacy of antiarrhythmic therapy. Correlation of heart rate and arrhythmia with the patient's activity or clinical signs is also possible.

Effects of age on the prevalence of cardiac dysrhythmias in ponies
This study describes the prevalence of cardiac dysrhythmias occurring over a single 24 h period in ponies and compares the heart rate and frequency of dysrhythmias in two groups of ponies of different ages. Electrocardiograms were recorded using a Holter monitoring system from twenty four ponies aged less than 15-year-old (n = 14) and greater than 15-year-old (n = 10). Subsequent analyses of ca...

متن کاملUsefulness of ambulatory 7-day ECG monitoring for the detection of atrial fibrillation and flutter after acute stroke and transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although atrial fibrillation is the most frequent cause of cardioembolic stroke, this arrhythmia remains underdiagnosed, as it is often asymptomatic or intermittent and, thus, may not be detected on standard 12-lead ECG or even 24-hour ECG recording (Holter). In this study, we hypothesized that 7-day ambulatory ECG monitoring using an event-loop recording (ELR) device wou...
متن کاملNoninvasive cardiac monitoring for detecting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or flutter after acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Identifying paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter is an essential part of the etiological workup of patients with ischemic stroke. However, there is controversy in the literature regarding the use of noninvasive cardiac rhythm monitoring with previous reviews reporting a low detection rate with routine monitoring. We performed a systematic review to determine the frequen...
متن کاملEvaluation of a direct access cardiac arrhythmia monitoring service.
BACKGROUND This paper describes the clinical outcomes from a novel direct access arrhythmia monitoring service. METHODS The study was carried out in the north of Scotland. Data was collected over a 29 month period between 18 June 2008 and 8 November 2010 from consecutive cases from two groups of patients, general practitioner (GP) direct access and 'redirected' consultant referrals. Monitor t...
