Digital ECG Holter Laboratory

Our laboratory is equipped with the most modern digital recording systems. Analogic and digital Holter ECG recorders from various companies are used in our laboratory. Digitization of analogic ECG recordings is also available from reel-to-real recordings or classical tape recorders. These devices were used in our various clinical research activity in collaboration with European and US centers.
