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.
