Zii Patch
14 day Holter (Zio patch)
2014-09-19 08:09:32. Conditions, Meds & Tests. I got a Zio Patch stuck on for the first time ever yesterday, and I have to say, what an improvement on the old holter monitor! I'm only 29 but I remember the days when the holter monitors came with a box the size of a brick (which seemed even bigger to.
The Zio patch cardiac monitor is an emerging technology that can monitor heart function for an extended period of time with just one patch attached to the chest. Patients wearing the Zio patch can shower with it on. Wearing a Holter or event monitor is painless. Melissa Kong, M.D., is a cardiac electrophysiologist a the Silicon Valley Cardiology center in East Palo Alto and says the ZIO Patch is worn on the patient's chest for 14 days.
Zio XT is a small, wearable heart monitor that can continuously record your every heartbeat up to 14 days as you go about your daily life. This approach to heart monitoring makes it easier for both you and your doctor to gather the right information and determine if you have an irregular heart rhythm or “arrhythmia.”
How much time will it take to be fitted with Zio patch?
Please expect to be at London Heart Centre for 30 minutes to be fitted with a Zio patch.
What can I expect during my Zio experience?
The Zio monitor was designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. There are no wires to manage or batteries to maintain. Once the monitor is applied to your chest by our cardiac physiologist, it should remain there for the entire prescribed period. Please do not try to adjust or remove it before the end of your monitoring period.
