Case Studies and Testimonials
Auto-Trigger Recorders
A 72-year-old man was prescribed a King of Hearts Express® AF cardiac event recorder to determine if his syncope, dizziness and shortness of breath were cardiac related.

A 29-year-old athletic male complained of occasional chest pressure and pounding sensations after playing basketball.

A 54-year-old man with a history of ventricular tachycardia was referred to rule out arrhythmias.
A 76-year-old woman was referred for syncope.
A 37-year-old woman complained of palpitations and shortness of breath after recovering from surgery.

Today, patients return home as early as two days after bypass surgery, and yet the threat of dysrhythmia complications can occur up to seven days post surgery. It is important that home care professionals have the tools, such as the Rhythm Check ECG monitor, to help complete their cardiovascular assessment.
The Rhythm Check can be connected to the patient via a lead cable for continuous monitoring and assessment or placed directly on the chest for a quick look. The quick look feature is especially helpful for home care nurses.
The LifeSigns Micro12 ECG allows patients to receive a 12-lead ECG at home. In this case, it saved the patient energy, effort, and the cost of an ambulance drive.
LifeSigns Rhythm Check allows home nurses to assess patient's rhythm from the comfort of her own home.
The Micro12 ECG allows paramedics in the field to easily and quickly perform ECGs before or while the patient is transported to the hospital. Because the data can be instantly downloaded transtelephonically, treatment can be started at once (if indicated) and the staff at the receiving E.R. can be completely prepared for the arrival of the patient.
