Langzeit-EKG
There are many different types of cardiac monitors. In personal use, the Holter monitor is an external monitor which uses wires with patches that attach to the skin to continuously measure and record heart activity for 1–2 days. An Event Recorder can be worn on the body for up to 30 days. A Mobile Cardiac Telemetry unit is a wearable monitor that detects, records, and transmits heart rhythms for up to 30 days. For long term use, an Insertable Cardiac Monitor is placed under the skin and automatically detects and records abnormal heart rhythms for up to 5 years.
