What Are the Risks From Using a Holter or Event
Monitor?
The sticky patches used to attach the sensors
(electrodes) to your chest have a small risk of skin irritation. You also may
have an allergic reaction the paste or gel thats sometimes used to attach
the patches. The irritation will go away once the patches are removed.
If youre using an implantable loop recorder,
you may get an infection or have pain where the device is placed under the
skin. You may be given medicine to treat these complications. |
