Remote Real Time Rhythm Monitoring

Long term monitoring of heart rhythm disorders using AliveCor for Iphone or Andriod devices

LCC has adopted the latest FDA-approved technology, the AliveCor, a simple device that can be used in conjunction with latest smartphones, including the Iphone and many other Android phones. This has the potential to finally detect heart rhythm abnormalities which only occur infrequently, for example once every 2 to 4 weeks, and in 10 seconds, the system is able to record an ECG. The team at LCC in Harley Street will be able to view the downloaded transmissions of data to help make a clear diagnosis.

“This technology has the potential to allow a clear diagnosis of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) to be made in patients with infrequent symptoms which would otherwise by very difficult to document by conventional 24 or 48hour ECG Holter monitors, allowing appropriate treatment strategies to be initiated in the earliest possible time-frame”

Dr Boon Lim, Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist
