Does programmed "Trendscription" facilitate the management of patients with episodic but frequently recurring arrhythmias?
A novel programmed "Trendscription" system combining a drum recorder, programmer, and telemetry unit was feasible for monitoring and managing episodic arrhythmias in a small case series.
A new approach to monitoring of episodic but frequently recurring arrhythmias has been developed, consisting of condensation of electrocardiographic information on a special drum recorder, a programmer that permits selection of intervals and durations for monitoring, and a telemetry unit for transmission of the electrocardiographic signal. We used this system to manage three selected cases. (JAMA232:39-43, 1975)
