(monitoring of arrhythmias or palpitations)

• This is a small easy-to-wear apparatus (the size of a pager) that continuously monitors cardiac rhythm. Whenever the person wearing the Cardiac Memo feels a palpitation or possible heartbeat irregularity, he or she presses a button.
  
   

• This captures the heart rhythm the minute before and the minute after the button was pressed. This heart rhythm information is later transferred to a computer and printer so that the nature of the arrhythmia can be identified.
