摘要:
Devices, systems, and methods for ambulatory monitoring for suspected bradycardia or prolonged QT interval with simultaneous external pacing capability is provided. The device monitors the patient for a bradycardic episode and/or prolongation of the QT interval. The device provides a monitor having sensing, pacing, recording and transmission capabilities. At least two pacing electrodes are provided with adhesive backing for application to the anterior chest region with one cathode to the region of the cardiac apex and an anode to the region of the right upper sternal cardiac border. If a bradycardic or tachycardia episode is detected or prolongation of the QT is sufficient, then pacemaking energy is provided to the electrodes allowing the patient time to seek medical care without suffering the results of temporary hemodynamic instability that might otherwise be associated with dysrhythmia. The device also senses when the electrodes are no longer in contact with the patients body.
