Mobile Cardiac Telemetry
Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT or MCOT™) monitoring is the most exciting technology to hit the market of ambulatory cardiac monitoring. MCT is a unique form of ambulatory cardiac monitoring as it offers advanced real-time analysis technology that is said to reduce costs and improve the diagnostic quality of electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring on an outpatient basis.
MCT remains a relatively new diagnostic tool in the world of ambulatory cardiac monitoring. This section evaluates the following items:
Mobile Cardiac Telemetry – Real Time ECG MonitoringMobile Cardiac Telemetry monitoring is (arguably) the most advanced & effective form of outpatient ECG monitoring. MCT monitoring automatically detects and transmits cardiac abnormalities via cell phone in real time to a diagnostic laboratory. |
