Zio XT ambulatory cardiac monitor

The Zio XT monitor is a type of wearable, adhesive patch heart monitor used for longer-term cardiac monitoring, typically for up to two weeks or more. Similar to a Holter monitor, it continuously records the heart's electrical activity, but the Zio XT monitor is smaller, more discreet, and often more comfortable for patients. It's designed to be worn for an extended duration, providing continuous heart rhythm monitoring during regular daily activities, potentially capturing irregularities that might not be detected during shorter-term monitoring. The recorded data helps doctors diagnose and manage various heart conditions, including arrhythmias.
