Long-term continuous ambulatory ECG monitors and external cardiac loop recorders for cardiac arrhythmia: a health technology assessment

English
Authors' recommendations:
Although both long-term continuous ambulatory ECG monitors and external cardiac loop
recorders were more effective than a 24-hour Holter monitor in detecting symptoms of cardiac
arrhythmia, we found no evidence to suggest that these two devices differ in effectiveness.
Assuming that the use of long-term continuous monitors will continue to increase in the next 5
years, the public health care system in Ontario can expect to see added costs of $130,000 to
$370,000 per year.
