Cardiac Event Monitoring Cardiac Event Monitoring is used to identify suspected arrhythmias that may elude 24 hour Holter monitoring. The patient wears a comfortable, lightweight, easy to use monitor for up to 30 days. If the patient experiences a symptom associated with an arrhythmia, he transmits this signal to our 24 hour monitoring center where our nurses, technicians, and consulting cardiologists are available to help spot any life threatening situation. Then, reports are sent to the patient’s attending physician for interpretation. Holter Monitoring Our 24-hour holter monitoring uses revolutionary featherweight, all solid state flash RAM technology to assist physician in identifying cardiac arrhythmias. Detailed, customized reports are promptly generated from our cardiac monitoring center and provided to the patient’s physician, and if desired, our board certified consulting cardiologist for analysis. Peripheral Vascular Testing Vascular testing is a noninvasive method of identifying the presence, absence, location, and degree of severity of peripheral arterial disease. This service plays an important role in preventing strokes, heart attacks, amputation, and pressure ulcers. The procedure is quick, painless, and performed in the comfort of the patient’s room or doctors office, or institutional setting.
