Without anticoagulation, a person with AF may be up to five times more likely to have an ischemic stroke than someone without AF.[1]

Like most healthcare markets, the diagnostic cardiology market has had a bumpy ride in recent years.
Holter monitors are firmly ensconced as the standard device for remote cardiac monitoring.

Holter monitors are firmly ensconced as the standard device for remote cardiac monitoring. But does that make them the best option?
Sudden cardiac arrest is a complex and challenging medical emergency because it can occur anywhere at any time and is likely to be fatal unless care teams can swiftly and accurately intervene.
