1. An ambulatory data recorder, comprising:

  • a housing;

    a catheter for sensing at least one physiologic signal;

    means for connecting to the catheter disposed in the housing, the catheter connecting means connecting to at least a portion of the catheter and providing electrical and mechanical connection thereto;

    means for recording the physiologic signal disposed in the housing, the physiologic signal recording means being electrically coupled to the catheter connecting means such that the at least one physiologic signal sensed by the catheter may be recorded by the physiologic signal recording means;

    wherein the housing is ergonomically-shaped and comprises top and bottom surfaces bounded and separated by opposing first and second side edges and opposing upper and lower edges, the first and second side edges defining respective widths of the top and bottom surfaces, the widths varying substantially equally between the first and second side edges when proceeding from the lower edge to the upper edge, the upper and lower edges being separated by a minimum distance, there being a first point at which a maximum width is defined along the minimum distance, the top surface having a substantially rounded and smooth surface, the top surface, the bottom surface, the first edge, the second edge, the upper edge and the lower edge defining substantially smooth corners in regions where the surfaces intersect, the data recorder having a center of gravity disposed at a second point which lies between the lower edge and the first point.
