The Valley Hospital is now open at 4 Valley Health Plaza in Paramus. (You may need to use 650 Winters Avenue for GPS.) All emergency care is now being provided at this location. Emergency care is no longer available at our Ridgewood campus.
Lately, multiple companies have developed intermittent ECG monitoring devices that work in conjunction with a smartphone and can record up to 30 seconds of data from one or more ECG leads.
These devices are not covered by insurance companies and need to be purchased.
They usually have 2 electrodes where you apply your fingers and link to the phones using Bluetooth technology. The recordings are made using an app, which usually has software to detect atrial fibrillation.
