Remote Cardiac Diagnostics Coordinated by Your Clinician

When clinically appropriate, Dr Francesco Lo Monaco can arrange home-based cardiac diagnostics, including Holter monitoring, Ambulatory BP monitoring, home ECG, and blood tests. Every device, appointment, and result is coordinated personally, with the same clinical attention as an in-clinic visit.

Cardiac Tests and Monitoring Arranged for You

Depending on your clinical needs, Dr Lo Monaco may arrange selected cardiac tests and monitoring services for you to complete at home. Each test is recommended following clinical assessment, with clear instructions and support from your cardiology team.

12-Lead ECG at Home

A 12-lead ECG records the electrical activity of your heart and can help identify abnormalities in your heart rhythm and other cardiac activity. Where clinically appropriate, your ECG can be arranged at home with clear guidance from your cardiology team.

Ambulatory BP Monitor

An ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) records your blood pressure for 24 hours throughout the day and night. This provides detailed insights about your blood pressure patterns during your usual activities and while you sleep.

Holter Monitor

A Holter monitor, a wearable ECG device, continuously records your heart rhythm over the prescribed monitoring period (24 hours to 14 days monitoring period). It can help capture intermittent rhythm abnormalities that may not be detected during a standard ECG.

Home Blood Tests

Where appropriate, a trained professional can be arranged to collect your blood sample at home. If home blood collection is not suitable, testing may be arranged through an appropriate partner clinic.

Your Remote Cardiac Monitoring Journey in 5 Simple Steps

  • Book Clinical Assessment

    Dr Lo Monaco will review your symptoms, medical history and overall health to decide whether remote cardiac monitoring or home diagnostic testing is clinically appropriate for you.
  • Have Your Test Arranged

    Our cardiology team will confirm the appropriate device, monitoring period and instructions, and deliver it to you along with proper instructions. For blood tests, a trained professional may be arranged for home sampling.
  • Complete Your Monitoring at Home

    You will receive the monitor, follow the instructions to apply the monitor, and complete the prescribed period, i.e., from 24 hours for ABPM and 24 hours to 14 days for ECG monitoring. For home blood tests, a trained professional will visit you and take your blood sample.
  • Return Your Device

    Once the monitoring period completes, you will return the device using the arranged method. Where blood tests are required, samples will be processed through a partner clinic.
  • Receive Specialist Review and Report

    Dr Lo Monaco personally reviews your results and provides a clear clinical report, explaining the findings and any recommended next steps.

Remote Cardiac Monitoring Across the UK

Home cardiac monitoring can be arranged for patients across the UK, where clinically required and available. Depending on the test, your monitoring device may be delivered to your home or a trained professional may visit you. Where a test cannot appropriately be performed at home, blood testing via partner clinics may be arranged.

Who Can Benefit from Home Cardiac Monitoring?

  • You experience palpitations, dizziness, or an irregular heartbeat that needs to be investigated.
  • You need blood pressure monitoring to detect hidden patterns, such as nocturnal dipping, white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, or symptoms, difficult to pick up in a single clinic visit.
  • You require follow-up monitoring after a diagnosis, procedure, or medication change, to track how your heart is responding
  • You have mobility limitations or a busy schedule and would benefit from cardiac investigations without the need to travel
  • You prefer the convenience of clinically supervised testing from the comfort of your home.

Remote monitoring is not an emergency response service

If symptoms become severe while waiting for, wearing or returning a monitor, the patient must follow the emergency instruction rather than wait for a recording or report.
