Abstract
Today four methods are available for laboratory remote recording of the ECG. Due to the difficulties involved in bringing patients to the laboratory, as early as 1906 Einthoven developed a phone transmission apparatus, the Telecardiogramme, in order to record ECG with a string galvanometer at a distance form the hospital [7]. Radiotransmission of the ECG was the next step introduced by Holter before he started to “uninvent” the radio link by recording with the Elektrocardiocorder on tape [8–10]. Holter monitoring is now commonly in use and has become the number one method in use for ambulatory monitoring. Furthermore solid state recording facilitates intermittent storage-telemetry of ECG-derived information such as heart rate and arrhythmia (Fig. 1).
