Depending on your child's symptoms, your physician may choose one of the following tests to assess his/her heart rhythm:

A Holter monitor is a device that is placed in our office that the child wears for 24 hours.  It saves every heart beat during that time and is used to assess heart rhythms and heart rates

Event recorders and loop recorders are devices that are designed to capture heart rhythms during a patient's symptoms.  Some models are worn continuously and activated at time of symptoms, while others are applied only at the time of symptoms. 

These devices are placed on the child in our office.  The devices can be sent back to the office in the mail with an envelope that is provided.  With the event recorders and loop recorders, rhythm strips are transmitted by telephone after they are recorded.
