A cardiac event recorder is a small, portable device that is placed in the hospital and used on an outpatient basis during the indicated examination period.
The heart's activity is monitored to clarify sporadic symptoms such as palpitations, fainting, chest pain, among others.
During the occurrence of symptoms, an electrocardiogram (ECG) is recorded. This allows the doctor to check if there is any relationship between the symptoms and changes in heart function.
