When the patients of Michael Boler, M.D. need cardiac monitoring, the Holter monitor is no longer his first choice. âThe newer ECG devices we have now are so much less cumbersome. Itâs like wearing a Band-Aid versus carrying a bulky device,â said the Greenwood, Mississippi internist. âMy patients prefer the more comfortable, wire-free form factor, and the quality is as good as, or better, than the Holter,â continued Boler. âPlus, my patient compliance has increased. With the Holter, the leads sometimes come off. The patient may think the device isnât working, so they take it off and we have to restart the process.â

Most professional athletes in the United States are required to take part in comprehensive cardiovascular screening programs to identify often-asymptomatic congenital or inherited heart disorders, and other cardiac risk factors. There remains a debate however, whether to mandate ECGs as part of pre-participation screening programs for student athletes at the collegiate and high school levels or even at younger ages.
