If you’re experiencing concerning heart symptoms or need continuous evaluation of your heart rhythm, your provider may recommend telemetry monitoring. At Advanced Health Associates, our experienced team uses real-time cardiac monitoring to detect irregular heartbeats, track heart rate abnormalities, and support early intervention when needed. Call today or request an appointment online to learn more about telemetry monitoring.
Telemetry monitoring is a continuous, real-time method of tracking your heart’s electrical activity. Unlike a standard EKG, which captures just a few seconds of data, telemetry monitors your heart rhythm around the clock while you remain in a clinical setting.
This ongoing monitoring allows your provider to quickly detect any dangerous or abnormal heart patterns, ensuring timely evaluation and treatment.
Your provider may recommend telemetry monitoring if you have symptoms or conditions that require ongoing cardiac observation, such as:
Chest pain or pressure
Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
Fast or slow heart rate
Dizziness or fainting
Shortness of breath
High-risk cardiac conditions
Recovery after a heart-related procedure or event
Telemetry helps providers quickly recognize changes in your heart rhythm that may require immediate attention.
During telemetry monitoring:
Small adhesive electrodes are placed on your chest.
The electrodes are connected to a compact transmitter.
Your heart’s electrical activity is continuously sent to a central monitoring system.
Trained medical staff review your heart rhythm in real time.
You can move around within the monitored area, and the wireless system allows comfort and flexibility while maintaining constant observation.
Telemetry is useful for identifying:
Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
Atrial fibrillation
Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
Pause episodes in the heartbeat
Effects of medications on heart rhythm
Early warning signs of cardiac complications
This makes telemetry an essential tool for diagnosing heart conditions and ensuring patient safety.
The length of monitoring depends on your condition. You may need telemetry for:
A few hours
Overnight
Several days
Your provider will determine the appropriate duration based on your symptoms, diagnosis, and overall medical needs.
At Advanced Health Associates, we use advanced telemetry monitoring to ensure your heart is continuously and safely observed when it matters most. Call today or request an appointment online to learn more about this important cardiac service.
