Updated Video: Zio Patch Single-Use Ambulatory Cardiac Monitor

Published March 19, 2018

The Zio® Patch by iRhythm is an interesting advancement in single-use ambulatory heart monitors. It looks like a big band-aid! After use, you return it to your doctor for downloading of the data.

The ZIO XT Patch

My first-hand experience: I wore one awhile back, after a prostate exam when my heart appeared to briefly be in A-Fib. As a followup, my cardiologist had me wear a Zio® Patch for two weeks. Result: no A-Fib! It turned out to be a one-time occurrence brought on by the medical test.
