A Del Mar Avionics Holter analyzer, the Electrocardioscanner Model 660 and several Holter recorders including the Electrocardiocorder Model 445 have recently been acquired by the Smithsonian Museum of American History. The records, correspondence and photos from the early development of the Holter monitor have also been archived by the museum and are available for public review. This collection records the activities of the engineering team headed by Bruce Del Mar during the time from 1958-2005 when the company was in transition from aerospace to medical device development. This Blog summarizes the archive.
This consensus guideline was prepared on behalf of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology and is cosponsored by the Japanese Circulation Society, the Computers in Cardiology Working Group on e-Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology, and the European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society.
We invite you to consider a new educational and research Fellowship opportunity in the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology (ISHNE), and encourage application for appropriate colleagues. Our international society, created in 1984, has been dedicated to the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiovascular disease, focusing primarily on noninvasive electrocardiology and related approaches. ISHNE’s focus has expanded to include a broad array of topics based on the underlying theme of non-invasive techniques to assess cardiovascular disease and management: arrhythmias, sudden death, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.
