Cardiac Monitors

Cardiac monitoring is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that uses a small portable device to monitor and record a patient’s cardiac activity, heartbeat rhythms, and heart rate.

Cardiac monitors are helpful in detecting and recording abnormal heart rhythms that may not be daily and allow for little interference in the patient’s normal day.
 
The patient can transmit a signal on several monitor types when experiencing a symptom so that the event can be correlated to that specific rhythm. 

Videre’s Cardiac Monitors are excellent at filtering out artifacts and provide clear rhythms. Our Monitors are also water resistant to interfere less with the patient’s daily life.

Physician Groups That Can Benefit from Cardiac Monitors

  • Primary Care Physicians
  • Internal Medicine Doctors
  • Cardiologists
  • Other Physicians & Specialists

Videre offers several types of cardiac monitoring to best suit the needs of the patient and physician:

  • Mobile Cardiac Telemetry
  • Event Monitor
  • 3-7 Day Long Term Holter Monitor
  • 24-48 Hour Holter Monitor

Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT): 93229, 93228

The Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) Monitor is typically worn by the patient for 3-7 days but up to 30 days. Data is transmitted to Videre through the Gateway box while the patient is wearing it either when the rhythms are significantly abnormal or when the patient presses the button on the monitor.

This data is monitored by Videre during the days, evenings, and weekends. If there is a significant abnormality the ordering physician will be notified. MCT can pull data while the patient is wearing a monitor for certain periods of time either before or after an event or episode. It provides bidirectional communication between the monitor and the software.

Once the patient returns the monitor, the office staff will transmit the data to Videre. The monitor is scanned thoroughly to make sure all the abnormal rhythms are documented in case the patient did not hit the button during an event. Videre will generate a report within 24-48 hours and provide the report to the ordering physician.

Patients with These Risk Factors (Among Many Others) Can Benefit from Cardiac Monitoring

  • Dizziness and Giddiness
  • Syncope and Collapse
  • Palpitations
  • Dyspnea (Labored Breathing)

What Cardiac Monitors Can Determine

  • Atrial Fibrillation
  • Abnormal Heart Rhythms
  • Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC)
  • Premature Atrial Contractions (PAC)

Event Monitor: 93268

The Event Monitor is typically worn by the patient for 3-7 days but up to 30 days. Data is transmitted to Videre through the Gateway box while the patient is wearing it either when the rhythms are significantly abnormal or when the patient presses the button on monitor.

This data is monitored by Videre during the days, evenings, and weekends. If there is a significant abnormality the ordering physician will be notified.

Once the patient returns the monitor, the office staff will transmit the data to Videre. The monitor is scanned thoroughly to make sure all the abnormal rhythms are documented in case the patient did not hit the button during an event. Videre will generate a report within 24-48 hours and provide the report to the ordering physician.

  • Abnormal Heart Rhythms
  • Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC)
  • Premature Atrial Contractions (PAC)
  • Atrial Fibrillation

3-7 Day Long Term Holter Monitor: 93241

The 3-7 Day Long Term Holter Monitor provides continuous recording of cardiac rhythms while the patient wears the monitor. Videre receives the data when the office staff transmits the data from their office after the patient has returned the monitor. Videre will generate a report within 24-48 hours and provide the report to the ordering physician.

  • Atrial Fibrillation

24-48 Hour Short Term Holter Monitor: 93224

The 24-48 Hour Holter Monitor provides continuous recording of cardiac rhythms while the patient wears the monitor. Videre receives the data only when the office staff transmits the data from their office after the patient has returned the monitor. Videre will generate a report within 24-48 hours and provide the report to the ordering physician.
