OBJECTIVE To determine association between patient's symptoms and incidence of arrhythmia on 24-hour electrocardiographic Holter monitoring. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY The Cardiology Department, Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi, from January to June 2007. METHODOLOGY Patients above 15 years of age, of either gender, referred for Holter ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic yield and cost-effectiveness of transtelephonic event monitors with those of Holter monitoring in patients with intermittent palpitations. DESIGN Randomized crossover trial. SETTING Diagnostic service of a teaching hospital and surrounding primary care practices. PATIENTS 43 patients with previously uninvestigated palpitations who were referred for Holt...

OBJECTIVE To show the place and role of continuous electrocardiographic twenty-four-hour ECG monitoring in daily clinical practice of pediatric cardiologists. METHODS According to protocol, 2753 patients underwent dynamic continuous ECG Holter monitoring (data collected from the "Register of ECG Holter monitoring" of Pediatric Clinic, UCC Sarajevo in period April 2003- April 2015). RESULTS ...

As it is mentioned in our article, 142 (51.6%) patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) had a 24-hour ambulatory Holter monitoring, whereas 195 (70.9%) ESUS patients had continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring for 1 week or until discharge from the stroke unit. For the latter patients, continuous ECG monitoring was observed by the trained nurse personnel of the acute ...

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent cause of stroke, but detecting paroxysmal AF (pAF) poses a challenge. We investigated whether continuous bedside ECG monitoring in a stroke unit detects pAF more sensitively than 24-hour Holter ECG, and tested whether examining RR interval dynamics on short-term ECG recordings using an automated screening algorithm (ASA) for pAF detection is a u...

BACKGROUND We investigated the role of 12-lead ECG P-wave duration and dispersion and of Holter monitoring as predictors of post-thoracic surgery atrial fibrillation. METHODS One hundred and five consecutive patients (88 males-17 females; age 60+/-9), undergoing thoracic surgery at National Cancer Institute between 2001 and 2003, were enrolled and both standard ECG and Holter monitoring were ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the yield of 48-hour Holter monitoring in children with unexplained palpitations and the significance of associated symptoms. METHODS This descriptive study was conducted at the Children's Hospital and Institute of Child Health, Lahore, Pakistan, from January 1 to December 31, 2015. All children above 5 years of age with history of intermittent palpitations and normal b...

A 52-year-old man complaining of persistent recurring chest pain at night underwent coronary angiogram at another institution. Normal coronaries were observed and he was discharged with muscle spasmolytic prescription. Since symptoms had continued, 24-hour Holter monitoring was ordered at our facility and results revealed huge ST elevation and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Cold pressor t...

Purpose. To evaluate the clinical applicability of a telemonitoring system: telemetric system for collection and distant surveillance of medical information (TEMEO). Methods. We evaluated 60 patients, applying simultaneously standard Holter ECG and telemonitoring. Two different comparisons were performed: (1) TEMEO ECG with standard 12-lead ECG; (2) TEMEO Holter with standard ECG Holter. Result...
