heart monitoring
Watching the pulse
Heart monitoring is tracking the heart's electrical activity, rhythm, or function over time.
This ranges from simple pulse checks to sophisticated devices that record continuously: The patient wore a heart monitor for 24 hours.
Electrocardiograms, Holter monitors, and smartwatches all perform heart monitoring.
Athletes use it to optimize training; doctors use it to detect arrhythmias or assess cardiac health.
