Current Use and Future Needs of Noninvasive Ambulatory Electrocardiogram Monitoring.
Authors: Ikeda T Abstract Remarkable progress has been seen in monitoring systems using noninvasive ambulatory electrocardiograms (ECGs). In the Holter ECG system, 12-channel formats have been utilized as diagnostic tools, particularly for the detection of transient or silent myocardial ischemia and dynamic electrical disorders. In patients diagnosed with cryptogenic stroke, despite negative results on standard ECG tests, continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring for up to 30 days has been shown to increase the detection rate of transient atrial fibrillation. At present, a waterproof Holter ECG system is available. Rece...
