Insights on ambulatory ECG monitoring in assessing risk of sudden cardiac death
Join us for a discussion with Dr. Martin Maron, Director of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center (HCM) at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center. Dr. Maron will share recent data from an HCM center and research institute demonstrating the potential impact of longer ambulatory monitoring time in identifying a greater burden of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), which has potential implications on patient management.
In this webinar:
- Monitoring with Zio XT for 8-14 days vs. 3-7 days identified more NSVT (40% vs. 26%, respectively).1
- Case study illustrates two brands of ambulatory ECG patch monitors found significantly different burdens of NSVT.2
- Arrhythmia detection affected by monitor algorithm thresholds.3

Watch highlights:
Highlight 1
Monitoring for 8-14 days vs. 3-7 days with Zio XT identified more clinically relevant arrhythmias.
Highlight 2
Dr. Martin Maron discusses how the significant burden of NSVT identified through risk stratification using Zio XT influenced a primary prevention recommendation for a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient.
