Abstract

To date, various types of cardiac event recorders are clinically available in our country. These ambulatory monitoring devices are used not only for arrhythmia detection in hospitals, but also for health management and promotion in home and infirmary. However, the utility in arrhythmia detection, risk and benefit, recording feasibility and cost-effectiveness remain to be resolved. In this report, we reviewed historical perspective of electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring and attempted to compare the characteristics and clinical availability of these commercialized event recorders. Conclusively, we would like to address the importance of pre-event segment recording. Loop recorder usually catches the instantaneous arrhythmias by pre-event recording under the continuous electrode arrangement, whereas non-loop recorder sometimes fails to catch them due in part to the sluggish patients activation. Various tools for ECG transmission (PC output, e-mail, cellular phone) are considered and such progression leads to the quick decision making in tele-care.
