Cardiac devices in Cardiovascular care

Innovative Cardiac devices in Cardiovascular care available at Mediclinic Al Jowhara Hospital

Very often patients complain of symptoms such as palpations, shortness of breath, chest tightness and sometimes black out. However, during check-up in the clinic everything appears normal. Once the patient leaves the clinic and return to his/her usual routine in home and in work, he/she again complains of same symptoms.

Thanks to the Technological innovations, we now have advanced state-of-the-art smart cardiac devices that can record what is going on with the patient when patient is out of the hospital with the capability of diagnosing all kinds of cardiac arrhythmia as Atrial fibrillation (AF) and other arrhythmia.

External loop recorder (Cardiophone)

It is a digital wireless loop recorder or cardiac telemetry that records and transmits a patients' ECG, in real-time 24/7.

ISTEL ECG recorder

It is a wireless small ECG recorder, in the size of a smart phone, with built-in electrodes.  

Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE)

It analyses the motion of tissues in the heart by using the naturally occurring speckle pattern in the myocardium (or motion of blood when imaged by ultrasound).
