Abstract 246: Cost-analysis and Clinical Outcomes in Medicare Patients Who Have Received Holter Monitoring [Session Title: Poster Session II]
Conclusions: Repeat monitoring, often of the same type as done initially, frequently did not yield a diagnosis and patients continued to experience clinical events at a substantial healthcare cost. Additional diagnostic paradigms should be explored to improve these patient and system outcomes.
