Our heart functions with about 2.5
billion beats over a lifetime and 100,000 each day. An organ that works
rigorously should be looked after.
High Blood Pressure and Stroke Awareness Month - MAY 2021
The month of May sheds light on cardiac health with its National Stroke Awareness Month, National High Blood Pressure Education Month, and Women’s Health Week. Heart health is an essential topic among most of the population, given that stroke is common these days. As a preventative measure against stroke, you should understand the importance of cardiac telemetry monitoring and controlling blood pressure.
Facts For Knowledge

Stroke is a preventable cause of disability.
● In the United States, someone has a stroke every 40
seconds, and every four minutes, someone dies suffering from it.
● Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death for adults
in the US, resulting in more than 130,000 deaths each year.
Importance Of Cardiac Telemetry Monitoring
Healthcare providers use cardiac telemetry by connecting electrodes to specific areas on the skin around the chest, stomach, and even limbs. Each following wire from the electrodes is attached to a recording device that tracks and monitors your heart’s activity. Further, it sends information to a monitoring device in another location where a doctor accesses the data.
Using cardiac telemetry has several advantages-
- Early Detection: Several heart diseases exist; some are to the extent that
they may kill any person. That’s why it’s essential to monitor cardiac
health and look out for required prevention if any. Telemetry allows the
detection of potential risks and diseases related to the heart early on.
- Saves Money: Every telemetry system type saves financial resources. Meaning, it eliminates the requirement for employing extra staff on hourly pay. Additionally, cardiac telemetry saves a great deal of money for both the insurance providers and the customers. This technology enables the users to monitor their health at the convenience of their homes, cutting out on the cost of unnecessary hospital stays and frequent visits.
- Saves Healthcare Worker’s
Time: Cardiac telemetry allows practitioners to examine patients’ health without
needing to sit with them. So, professionals can delegate their time to
other patients on the premises. The monitor built into the system alerts
when something unusual is detected in their heart’s electrical waves. In
this way, nurses and doctors can pay attention to the patients who need
urgent medical care.
