Ambulatory monitoring of arrhythmias.
Currently available instrumentation provides the capability of ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring. A considerable body of literature has developed since the late 1950s which defines an important role for this technique in clinical practice. The use of ambulatory monitoring may ultimately prove as useful in the diagnosis and treatment of occult arrhythmias during activity as monitoring has been during acute phases of myocardial infarction.
