What is the name of heart pulse monitors in hospitals?

Cardiac monitor. A cardiac monitor is a medical device that displays the electrical activity of the heart. It is typically used in hospitals and other medical facilities to monitor the heart rate and rhythm of patients. Cardiac monitors can also be used to detect arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats.

There are many different types of cardiac monitors, but the most common type is the electrocardiograph (ECG) monitor. ECG monitors display the electrical activity of the heart on a screen, and can also be used to record the electrical activity of the heart for later review.

Other types of cardiac monitors include:

* Holter monitors are small, portable devices that can be worn for 24 hours or longer to record the electrical activity of the heart. Holter monitors are often used to diagnose arrhythmias that occur infrequently.

* Event recorders are small, portable devices that can be worn for several weeks or months to record the electrical activity of the heart when the patient experiences symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. Event recorders are often used to diagnose arrhythmias that occur infrequently or that are triggered by certain activities.

* Implantable loop recorders are small devices that are implanted under the skin to record the electrical activity of the heart. Implantable loop recorders are typically used to diagnose arrhythmias that occur infrequently or that are difficult to diagnose with other methods.
