Cardiac Monitoring Devices
Cardiac Monitoring (AECG) devices can vary significantly in function, size & monitoring capabilities for each type of cardiac monitoring study. Cardiac monitoring devices can range from a simple recording device to a real time monitor with cellular communication capabilities to transmit each beat. Each type of cardiac monitoring device is designed to capture ECG information for a variety of medical conditions. Some devices are designed to capture transient symptomatic ECG arrhythmias while others are used to monitor more closely.
Cardiac Monitoring devices:

Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) MonitorsMobile cardiac telemetry (MCT, MCOT) monitors automatically detect and transmit real time ECG information to a diagnostic laboratory. Mobile Cardiac Telemetry monitors can vary slightly in size & configuration with a cellular communication device.

Cardiac Event MonitorsCardiac event monitors are designed to be used for long term ECG monitoring. With long term being the nature of the study, most of the devices are small in size & weight to make the monitoring experience as easy as possible for the patient.
