Abstract
Ambulatory external electrocardiography (AECG) monitoring is effective as an evidence-based diagnostic tool when suspicion for cardiac arrhythmia is high. Multiple modalities of AECG monitoring exist, with unique advantages and limitations that predict effectiveness in a variety of clinical settings. Knowledge of these characteristics allows appropriate use of AECG, maximizing patient adherence, diagnostic yield, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, new technology has allowed the development of a modern generation of devices that offer increased efficacy and functionality compared with Holter monitors.
