Risks

There are no risks associated with the test. However, you should be sure not to let the monitor get wet.

Special Considerations

Electrodes must be firmly attached to the chest so the machine gets an accurate recording of the heart's activity.

While wearing the device, avoid:

Electric blankets
High-voltage areas
Magnets
Metal detectors

It is very important for you to keep a diary of symptoms. The diary should include the date, time of day, type, and duration of symptoms.
