Cardiac Event / Telemetry Monitors
United Heart Institute provides a full suite of diagnostic tests for cardiovascular health. From assessing symptoms to evaluating daily heart function, our mission is to help patients from across the Inland Empire achieve cardiovascular health. Our cardiac event and telemetry monitor services offer safe, effective, and comfortable ways to capture important heart rhythm data in real time. Your clinician can then use this data to guide personalized care and treatment.
What Are Cardiac Event and Telemetry Monitors?
Cardiac event monitors and telemetry monitors are portable devices that allow patients to record their heart’s electrical activity over days to weeks. Unlike shorter-term or single tests, these devices capture prolonged data. This function makes them ideal for assessing infrequent or unpredictable symptoms to create a comprehensive view of your heart health and function.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the type of monitoring or assessment that best suits your situation. Such an assessment may include:
- Medical history review
- Physical examination
- Resting electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Symptom assessment
- Other cardiac tests
What Do These Monitors Help Diagnose?
Both cardiac event and telemetry monitors are valuable tools for pinpointing a wide range of rhythm-related cardiac conditions, including:
- Intermittent arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
- Atrial fibrillation
- Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
- Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
- Unexplained palpitations
- Fainting or near-fainting episodes
- Unexplained dizziness or fatigue
These monitors are handy when symptoms occur unpredictably, making them unlikely to coincide with a brief clinic visit.
Who Should Consider Cardiac Event or Telemetry Monitoring?
Your physician may point you toward cardiac event or telemetry monitoring if you:
- Have sporadically occurring symptoms (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or fatigue)
- Have a known heart rhythm disorder requiring ongoing monitoring
- Require evaluation of treatment efficacy for arrhythmias
- Are recovering from a cardiac procedure or surgery and need extended monitoring
- Need monitoring while adjusting cardiac medications
What Are the Benefits and Risks?
Cardiac event and telemetry monitoring offer a safe way to monitor your cardiac function. Generally, they involve little to no risk. At most, you may experience mild skin irritation from the adhesive electrodes. Otherwise, they offer a convenient and safe way to obtain key heart health data. Benefits include:
- Continuous or on-demand monitoring of your heart rhythm over extended periods
- Helps capture intermittent arrhythmias that may not appear during a standard ECG or Holter test
- Noninvasive and easy to wear during daily activities
- Provides valuable data to help guide treatment and improve outcomes
The devices are safe for home use, and you will receive complete instructions on how to operate and manage them.
