CardioNet is the world´s leading supplier of Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT), providing cutting-edge ambulatory cardiac monitoring services with beat-to-beat, real time analysis, automatic arrhythmia detection and wireless ECG transmission. By developing MCOT, CardioNet has helped clinicians to prevent morbidity, mortality and disability with rapid diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease. Overview of MCOT CardioNet MCOT uses three chest leads attached to a small sensor to detect patients’ heartbeats. The sensor uses built-in algorithms to analyze every heartbeat and transmits abnormalities to the monitor wirelessly. The monitor automatically sends event information to the CardioNet monitoring center. Certified monitoring technicians analyze the event data and report the results to physicians, so that a diagnosis can be made in order for treatment to be prescribed, if necessary. CardioNet MCOT allows patients to go about their normal routine as they are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How CardioNet MCOT Meets The Challenges of Rapid Diagnosis: When diagnosing and treating arrhythmias, time is of the essence. Every moment without diagnosis and treatment can cause anxiety for patients, as well as increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Rapid diagnosis and treatment is essential to patient health. However, rapidly diagnosing and effectively treating patients with arrhythmias can be challenging for many reasons, including: • Infrequent Arrhythmias: Some arrhythmias occur too infrequently to be detected through 24-48 hours of Holter monitoring. • Event Monitor Insufficiencies: Asymptomatic patients and those who have difficulty triggering monitoring equipment often have problems with event monitors, making it difficult to correlate events with symptoms. CardioNet MCOT enables heartbeat-by-heartbeat ambulatory ECG monitoring, analysis and response, at home or away, 24/7/365. This offers physicians a powerful diagnostic and patient management tool to address the challenges of rapid diagnosis. Using and Prescribing CardioNet MCOT: Once a practice is enrolled, CardioNet MCOT can be prescribed for patients for up to 30 days of continuous monitoring. The patient wears a small sensor and monitor as they continue their normal daily routine. MCOT monitors patients 24 hours a day, and automatically transmits activity to the CardioNet Monitoring Center for analysis and response, as events occur.
