A 14-day monitor is recommended when symptoms occur very infrequently — perhaps once or twice a fortnight — making a 7-day recording statistically insufficient to capture an event. It is also the preferred duration for comprehensive atrial fibrillation screening, where guidelines recommend extended monitoring to maximise detection of paroxysmal AF.

We provide comprehensive written instructions and everything you need for the mid-week electrode pad change. Our team is also available by phone throughout your monitoring period if you have any questions. The process is straightforward — most patients manage it with ease.

Almost all normal daily activities are fine: work, driving, walking, cycling, gym exercise, and sleeping. Swimming and full-immersion bathing should be avoided. Sex, travel and social activities are all absolutely fine — the monitor is designed to be worn through a full, normal life.

The consultant cardiologist's report will detail the predominant rhythm throughout the recording, maximum, minimum and average heart rates, the frequency and nature of any ectopic beats, evidence of any paroxysmal arrhythmias (including AF), and critically — whether any rhythm abnormalities directly correlated with the symptoms you recorded in your diary.

Yes — with your consent, the written report is sent directly to your GP or referring consultant. If an urgent finding is identified, our clinical team will contact your GP promptly. You also receive a copy of the full report for your own records.
