About Cardiac Event Monitor

A Cardiac Event Monitor is a portable, non-invasive device used by cardiologists to record the heart's electrical activity (ECG) over an extended period, typically 1 to 30 days. It is specifically designed to capture intermittent or infrequent symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fainting that a standard 24-hour Holter monitor might miss. The patient wears the monitor continuously and activates it to record when symptoms occur. This allows the cardiologist to correlate the patient's reported symptoms with their heart rhythm at that exact moment, providing crucial data for diagnosing arrhythmias, evaluating the effectiveness of treatments, or investigating the cause of transient symptoms. It is a vital tool for diagnosing conditions that are not present during a brief office visit.

Key Highlights

    Captures infrequent or intermittent heart rhythm abnormalities that standard ECGs miss.Non-invasive and painless, allowing for normal daily activities.Patient-activated recording helps correlate specific symptoms with heart activity.Provides extended monitoring (days to weeks) for more comprehensive data.Essential for diagnosing unexplained symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or syncope.Helps evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac medications or ablation procedures./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Unexplained fainting (syncope) or near-fainting (pre-syncope).
  • Palpitations, skipped beats, or a sensation of a racing heart.
  • Dizziness, lightheadedness, or unexplained shortness of breath.
  • Suspected arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, or tachycardia.
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of anti-arrhythmic medications or treatments.
  • Assessing heart rhythm after a cardiac procedure or pacemaker implantation.
  • Investigating seizures of possible cardiac origin.

How to prepare

  • No special dietary restrictions or fasting is required.
  • The chest area may need to be shaved (if very hairy) to ensure good electrode adhesion.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the chest.

  • Skin irritation, redness, or rash under the adhesive electrodes (common).
  • Allergic reaction to the electrode adhesive or gel (rare).
  • Discomfort or itching from wearing the device and wires.
  • Technical failure of the device, leading to loss of data (uncommon).
  • No direct physical risks to the heart from the monitoring itself.
  • The main 'risk' is a failure to capture symptoms during the monitoring period, requiring extended or repeated monitoring.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • There is no recovery period from the procedure itself; normal activities can resume immediately.
  • Carefully remove the electrodes and device as instructed at the end of the monitoring period.
  • Gently clean the skin with soap and water to remove any adhesive residue.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
