PY - 2020 T2 - Cardiac Arrhythmias: Interpretation, Diagnosis, and Treatment, 2e AB - The entities in this section constitute relatively frequent referrals to cardiologists and electrophysiologists for suspected arrhythmia. The most accurate way of making or excluding arrhythmia is obviously recording the electrocardiogram (ECG) during a clinical episode, an exercise complicated when symptoms are infrequent and sporadic, and clinical clues are nonspecific or absent. Since the original publication of this book in 1994, technology has moved on providing us with a plethora of ECG monitoring products, including implantable types capable of long-term monitoring in the range of months and years. Ambulatory monitoring of blood pressure has become available and it is likely that ambulatory monitoring utilizing novel sensors will be available in the foreseeable future. This has probably contributed the most to streamlining the current management of most of these patients, leaving us to grapple only with those who have specific unique issues complicating diagnosis or treatment.
