Supports continuous ECG for elusive events in select cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does continuous cardiac telemetry improve the detection of angina pectoris or paroxysmal arrhythmias compared to conventional electrocardiography in ambulatory subjects?
Continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring is effective for detecting transient arrhythmias and ischemic changes missed by standard resting ECG.
