Abstract

Long-term analysis is one of the greatest advances in clinical cardiology within the last 15 years. With the introduction of computers exact quantification and qualification of arrhythmias, over long periods has become possible. Major indications for long-term ECG monitoring are detection of occult arrhythmias, evaluation of subjective symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness or syncope, recognition of pacemaker dysfunction, identification of high-risk patients with coronary heart disease and evaluation, as well as monitoring of drug therapy.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
