If you or somebody close to you experiences unexplained symptoms suggestive of heart problems, you are not alone! Millions of Americans have similar problems and need help. Complaints of infrequent: "palpitations", "skipped beat", "heart racing", "funny sensation in the chest or abdomen", "shortness of breath", "dizziness or near fainting", "heart burn" or "chest pain" during physical exertion or emotional stress can all be the result of cardiac abnormalities.
The main problem facing patients and physicians alike is the fact that such symptoms may be very difficult to detect. They may be sporadic in nature and appear infrequently once every few days or weeks or even once a month. Furthermore, such symptoms may be very short and disappear by the time you have reached the doctor's office or the emergency room. Accordingly, the patient, as well as the physician, needs a system that can record the patient's symptoms and Electrocardiogram while things are happening. Your Electrocardiogram might look like this…
Your Electrocardiogram might look like this…

Life threatening or benign arrhythmias: These examples demonstrate that the cause of the symptoms can be benign (as in sample 1) or can be life threatening (as in sample 2). This is why you and your doctor would want to have your Electrocardiogram recording at the time of the occurrence of the symptoms.
The best solution available: Cardiac Telemedicine, as conceptualized and performed by Cardiomedix for over 20 years, is the most effective solution for your problems. Our transtelephonic surveillance system allows for long periods of monitoring (days, weeks, months, or even lifetime), and enables us to detect, document and accurately diagnose even the most infrequent episodes.
What can you do? Ask your doctor to provide you with the Cardiac Telemedicine System by Cardiomedix Inc. or contact us directly. You will receive a small transmitter the size of a pager or a credit card.
How is it done? You will be enrolled with Cardiomedix for at least 30 days or for as long as is needed. During this time, whenever you experience symptoms, you can call the 24 hour a day 7 days a week Cardiomedix Control Center, transmit your ECG to and talk to one of our highly skilled CCC nurses. Your doctor will be informed about your symptomatic episode and the recorded ECG will be sent to him. In case of a life threatening situation, the Cardiomedix Control Center will alert your doctor and at the same time summon the paramedics. We must remember that in these situations every minute counts and that an immediate intervention may make the difference between life and death!!
