Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide methods of obtaining continuous cardiac information from a mammal. First, attach a self-contained, wearable, portable continuous cardiac monitor to he mammal to create a chamber containing electrodes used to detect cardiac signals from the mammal. Next, continuously detect without analyzing the cardiac signals from the mammal for at least 24 hours. Next, store information related to substantially all detected cardiac signals in the cardiac monitor.

Claims

1. A method of obtaining cardiac information from a mammal comprising:

Attaching a self-contained, wearable, portable cardiac monitor to the mammal to create a chamber containing electrodes used to detect cardiac signals from the mammal;

Continuously detecting without analyzing the cardiac signals from the mammal for at least 24 hours; and

Storing information related to substantially all detected cardiac signals in the cardiac monitor.
