Steve * is a 66-year-old male with a history of syncope. His doctor prescribed one of eCardio’s cardiac event monitors (ER920W) to diagnose the cause of his frequent symptoms.
During the early part of the study, Steve’s device recorded normal sinus rhythms with PACs. On the third day of the study, the device triggered for a 3.9 second pause with a third degree heart block. eCardio immediately contacted Steve’s physician, who sent Steve to the emergency room.
Steve received a pacemaker the day after eCardio notified his doctor. If left untreated, it could have eventually lead to unconsciousness and death.
When asked to describe his experience with eCardio, Steve stated, “eCardio saved my life and I am very grateful”.
His wife also said, “The monitor made all the difference. I could not get my husband to go to the hospital until he put on the monitor. When eCardio called and advised him to go, he went and received a pacemaker. You saved his life. He is now back to doing all his normal activities”.
