External cardiac loop recorder (ELR) is a kind of ECG monitoring system that records cardiac activities of a subject continuously for a long time. When the heart palpitations are not that frequent and non specific in character, it is difficult to diagnose the disease. ELR is placed for several days or weeks as against the holter monitor which is put only for a day or two. Due to the long duration, a wide variety of heart rhythms are captured which helps in proper analysis and diagnosis.
Why Do I need an ELR Test?
ELR is highly recommended for patients with infrequent short-duration transient symptoms, recurring over weeks or months. These could be :
- unexplained fainting,
- infrequent or transient fast heart beats
- Dizziness
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
