![]() ![]() You will keep a diary of your child’s activities during the day and any symptoms. Your child will wear the monitor day and night for 1 to 14 days. Read more about using a Holter monitor (PDF) ( Spanish). Your child’s cardiologist will analyze the monitor’s readings and look for any times your child had an arrhythmia. When the recording is done, you will need to return or mail the monitor, leads and case to the Heart Center. The electrodes pick up tiny electrical signals from the heart. ![]() How does a Holter monitor work?Ī nurse or technician will attach the electrode wires (leads) of the Holter monitor to your child’s chest with stickers and place the monitor in a comfortable position. Your child’s heart doctor ( cardiologist) will order a Holter monitor to check your child’s heart rate or to see if they are having an abnormal heart rhythm ( arrhythmia). ![]() It helps to track symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, fainting and palpitations (fast heart rhythms or skipping beats). RhythMedix®, a privately owned medical device manufacturer, provides innovative technology to transform the medical monitoring industry and improve patient outcomes.Holter monitors record how fast or slow the heart beats throughout the day while your child is playing, exercising and sleeping. “We look forward to bringing this next-generation RhythmStar technology to physicians across the U.S. “We are excited to offer physicians and their patients our unique monitoring solution that improves patient compliance, helps accelerate diagnosis, and allows physicians to stay virtually connected to their patients with on-demand access to clinical data”, stated Brian Pike, President, Chief Operations Officer and Co-Founder of RhythMedix. “It also allows me to remain connected to my patients throughout their monitoring period, which may expedite a life-saving diagnosis.”Īccording to RhythmMedix the RhythmStar is the first wearable multi-modality cardiac monitor (Holter, Event and MCT) that integrates seamlessly into clinical practice, helping physicians make informed treatment decisions that allow patients to enjoy life, without missing a beat. “The novel wearable RhythmStar monitoring device offers increased patient compliance and allows for accurate assessment of cardiac rhythm in real time,” states Steven DaTorre, M.D., a Clinical Cardiologist at Cooper University Health Care in New Jersey. 1,2 While remote cardiac monitoring has improved arrhythmia detection, patient compliance and timely access to heart activity currently limit accurate and timely diagnosis. Heart arrhythmias are a major health concern that doubles the risk of death in an estimated 33.5 million people worldwide. According to the company, RhythmStar is now available with HeartTime™ on-demand telemetry mode, an innovative platform that allows physicians to evaluate cardiac activity and expedite care via a telemedicine appointment, limiting the need for an in-person office visit. The technology enables rapid ECG analysis and reporting of cardiac abnormalities by RhythMedix’s team of US-based certified technicians, who alert physicians if an arrhythmia of concern is detected. According to the company the novel cardiac telemetry monitor is discreetly worn for extended remote monitoring without the need for an additional phone or communication device. RhythMedix, a producer of cardiac monitoring devices, today announced the release of its next-generation RhythmStar ® wearable device with built-in 4G cellular connectivity.
