Key result
Ambulatory electrocardiography is increasingly used to evaluate cardiac dysrhythmias and myocardial ischemia, with specific clinical indications for its application.
This review provides a clinical overview of the indications and utility of ambulatory electrocardiography for detecting dysrhythmias and ischemia.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Offers clinicians a reference for ambulatory ECG indications; leaves open prospective validation of expanding applications.
Advances in modern technology have made it possible to record and analyze the electrocardiographic data of ambulatory persons for as many as 24 h or more. This capability and an increasing awareness of cardiac dysrhythmias and myocardial ischemia as a cause of morbidity and mortality have led to the more widespread use of ambulatory electrocardiography in the examination of patients for various clinical conditions. From a clinical viewpoint, we review and summarize the present state-of-the-art of ambulatory electrocardiography and discuss when such studies are indicated, frequently warranted, or may be useful.

Harold L. Kennedy (1977) conducted a review in Cardiac dysrhythmias and myocardial ischemia. Ambulatory electrocardiography was evaluated. Ambulatory electrocardiography is increasingly used to evaluate cardiac dysrhythmias and myocardial ischemia, with specific clinical indications for its application.
