Key result
Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring provides a better overall estimate of arrhythmias than standard resting ECG by recording over 100,000 cardiac cycles during an average 24-hour day.

Does ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring improve the detection of cardiac arrhythmias compared to standard 12-lead resting ECG?
Ambulatory ECG monitoring offers significant advantages over standard resting ECG for detecting transient arrhythmias and evaluating antiarrhythmic therapy.
John S. Schroeder (1976) conducted a review in Cardiac arrhythmias. Ambulatory Electrocardiographic Monitoring vs. Standard 12-lead resting electrocardiogram was evaluated. Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring provides a better overall estimate of arrhythmias than standard resting ECG by recording over 100,000 cardiac cycles during an average 24-hour day.
