Home Heart Monitoring Devices

At The New Foscote Hospital, we offer convenient and reliable home heart monitoring devices for patients who require continuous or remote observation of their heart rhythm and cardiovascular health. These devices help detect irregularities such as arrhythmias, palpitations, or signs of cardiac distress in real-time, without the need for a hospital stay

What Is Home Heart Monitoring?

Home heart monitoring involves using portable or wearable devices that record your heart’s electrical activity over a period of time. These devices are often used to:

Detect intermittent arrhythmias
Monitor response to treatment or medications
Evaluate symptoms like palpitations, fainting, or shortness of breath
Support ongoing cardiac risk management

Types of Devices We Offer

Wireless Monitoring Systems
Sync with a smartphone or app to send real-time data to your consultant.
Holter Monitors
Worn for 24–72 hours to track continuous heart rhythms.
Event Recorders
Worn for longer periods; activated by the patient when symptoms occur.
Ambulatory ECG Monitors
Provide continuous data over days or weeks for in-depth rhythm analysis.

How It Works

A consultant will assess your symptoms and recommend the appropriate device.
The device is fitted at the hospital or sent to your home with clear instructions.
You wear the device for the required duration while continuing normal activities.
Data is collected and securely transmitted to our cardiology team for review.
A follow-up consultation provides diagnosis, advice, or next steps if needed.

Aftercare and Recovery

You’ll rest in a recovery area until the sedation wears off (usually within an hour).
It’s important to arrange for someone to take you home and avoid driving or major decisions for 24 hours.
You may be prescribed ongoing medication to help maintain a normal rhythm or prevent clots.
A follow-up appointment will ensure your treatment plan continues to support your heart health.
