 |  Cardiac Event Monitoring has proven to be a valuable tool in documenting events that had eluded detection by traditional tests (i.e., 12-Lead and 24-Hour Holter Monitoring). It has also proven to be a very cost-effective alternative to long stays in CCU and in-house telemetry monitoring. Because the patient is active and performing routine daily activities, chances of documenting transient problems are greatly enhanced.
