Zio patch . . .

Ignore my comments in the article as they are totally inaccurate, I didn't even know I was being interviewed (I do not read the daily mail and would not use it to wipe my bottom). As most of you know I had a Cryo ablation and I said I felt 98% better but it is the daily mail, not exactly known for their accurate reporting skills. But the positive message remains that they are approving this devise for NHS use, it was a game changer for me.

This device has been around since at least 2013. There seems to have been difficulty getting sufficient evidence to make a firm recommendation.

But if it works for individual patients in the meantime, why not?

Perhaps more convenient. My Holter report reached my GP 3 months after I had the recording

I used a ZIO patch. Worked well for me. Returned good data. Best of all, I could shower with it on.

Since my daughter has PVCs but no symptom, we have to rely on this device to check her PVCs burden. It also shows her heart rates. The problem is that it's so....expensive
