title: Hospital-based transtelephonic arrhythmia surveillance.
abstract: Significant numbers of persons who have cardiac arrhythmias are living in the community following diagnosis and/or hospitalization of their potentially life-threatening condition. Living with these adjustments in life-style offers challenges to these patients and families. These authors describe an arrhythmia surveillance developed to link the patient with outpatient cardiac monitoring, diagnostic information, and patient education.
