Cardiac Monitoring

Meaning

Cardiac Monitoring is the systematic and continuous clinical practice of observing, recording, and interpreting the heart’s electrical and mechanical activity to assess its function and rhythm. This diagnostic process is crucial for identifying acute cardiac events, detecting subtle arrhythmias, and tracking the patient’s cardiovascular response during various medical treatments, including specific hormonal therapies. The goal is to provide real-time or near real-time data that is essential for patient safety and clinical management.
