What is an Event Monitor?

An Event Monitor is a type of ambulatory electrocardiography device, a portable device for cardiac monitoring (the monitoring of the electrical activity of the cardiovascular system) for 2 weeks.


These monitors can record how fast your heart is beating, whether the rhythm of your heartbeats is steady or irregular, and the strength and timing of the electrical impulses passing through each part of your heart. Information from these recordings helps doctors diagnose an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, and check whether treatments for the irregular heartbeat are working.


The event monitor's most common use is for monitoring ECG heart activity (electrocardiography or ECG). For patients having more high risk arrhythmias or symptoms, a Mobile Cardiac Telemetry device  can be worn for a two weeks.

The recording is then analyzed, a report of the heart's activity is tabulated, and irregular heart activity is correlated with your activity at the time.
