Cardiophy

Cardiophy services offers realization and remote interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECG)

Our team of nurses and interpreter cardiologists are available to perform and/or analyse ECG and Holter ECG recordings

Advantages

• Experts performing and interpreting short ECG, emergency ECG as well as Holter ECG up to 15 leads (from 24h to 4 weeks)
• Patient training, support and follow-up during ECG performing and recording
• Flexibily according to your needs and your practice

Key numbers

• 100M ECG annually performed in western Europe. 2 M in French hospitals (Source : Fischer and Zywietz, 2003 ; PMSI 2016)
• 5x More chances to diagnose atrial fibrillation via 1 week Holter vs 24h. (7x via 4-week Holter vs 24h) (Source : Higgins et al., 2013, Gladstone et al., 2014)
• 15M Strokes per year worldwide (Source : World Health Organization)
• 33.5M Individuals suffering from atrial fibrillation, worldwide (Source : Chugh et. al, Circulation, 2013)
