Access and reimbursement of ambulatory cardiac monitoring across Europe.

ABSTRACT: Ambulatory cardiac monitoring (ACM) allows long-term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring to detect arrhythmias with different modalities, ranging from short-term Holter monitoring (up to 48 h) to long-term continuous patch ECG monitors (up to 14 days), external event recorders (up to 30 days), and implantable loop recorders (ILRs).
