Cardiac Monitoring

WHAT IS MOBILE CARDIAC TELEMETRY?

Mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT) is a method of recording a patient’s heart activity via a small, convenient, and portable device. It’s performed in the patient’s home and daily environment, where symptoms for various cardiac events, including bradycardia, tachycardia,and arrhythmia, are more likely to appear.
MCT allows monitoring and data collection for up to 30 days, versus only 24-48 hours with Holter monitoring. The extended length of testing provides more data to help ensure accurate arrhythmia diagnosis and management.

Patient support is available from Shores Diagnostic 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

At Shores Diagnostic, we are dedicated to providing high level services to physicians and patients. Our center receives and monitors transmitted MCT data 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Physicians are notified immediately upon detection of irregularities in a patient’s testing.

At study conclusion, our technicians send referring physicians a comprehensive, easy-to-read report to assist with appropriate diagnosis and therapy management. Most test results are promptly delivered within 3-5 days of disconnect.

Our mobile cardiac telemetry services feature:

  • Auto-trigger functionality, allowing for the early detection of specific arrhythmias, such as AFib.
  • Wireless data transmission through a Wi-Fi hotspot, which is programmed to send EKG recordings at 10-minute intervals. Other monitors utilize cellular networks, which can experience gaps in coverage, or worse, a lack of signal altogether.
  • Easily accessible patient support 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure accuracy.

What is video EEG monitoring (VEEG)?An EEG records the electrical activity of your brain, also known as brainwaves. Video EEG monitoring records a video of what your body is also doing during the home EEG test. A doctor will look at the video and the test results together. These two pieces of information help your doctor determine if your seizure or symptom was related to the electrical activity in your brain. Video EEG monitoring is considered the gold standard for diagnosing seizures and symptoms. It allows your doctor to see any type of event or symptom that happens while you conduct your normal daily activities and sleep. At Shores Diagnostic, we strive to be the gold standard for video EEG at home testing.
