The device, which was planted by Israeli doctors from the “Sheba Medical Center” in the coastal city of Caesarea, to remotely monitor Netanyahu’s heartbeat, starting yesterday, Sunday, is known as the Holter monitor to monitor blood pressure as well, by transferring the data it records to a computer for examining heart diseases.
The device, whose name was derived in 1949 from the name of the doctor who invented that year, the late Norman Holter, a Norwegian-American in 1983 at the age of 69, monitors heart rate in partial continuous tracking around the clock from 12 channels that monitor the heart from different directions, and allows recording on Long periods ranging from months to 3 years.
The device is small, regarding half a cigarette long, and a few millimeters thick. The process of implanting it in the left chest muscle takes a few minutes under local anesthesia, followed by transfer of the patient to the recovery room, according to what Al Arabiya.net learned from his biography in which “Online” states that from He was implanted in and released from resuscitation two hours later, during which time he received instructions on how to use it.
The most important thing that Holter does is receive electrical signals from the heart, and records them every few minutes according to pre-programmed settings, and when there is an abnormal heartbeat, or when the patient suffers from symptoms, including fatigue or during a strong heartbeat, then he transmits the results remotely, for a doctor to see. The heart provides instructions to the patient on the move for a maximum period of 3 years, following which it is removed from the body with local anesthesia.
